Hi,

I'm having problems printing in landscape mode from my DJ 500, and I
think that I've isolated the problem to be my deskjet family driver.

Symptoms:

In Paintbrush and W4W, the print.. and print preview menu options
become greyed out when I select landscape mode with the 'deskjet
family driver.'

If I switch to the epson driver or postscript or even the DJ500
scalable fonts driver (not the same as the deskjet family driver), I
can print fine in landscape mode.

Background

I got this driver from a bulletin board. It recognizes the DJ 500,
which the driver that came with windows did not. 

Request

If anyone knows where I can get a deskjet family driver that
recognizes the deskjet, and can print in landscape, I'd be grateful
for info... (or, if you can mail it to me. I don't think that there
will be any copyright infringement in doing so.)
