Subject: Printer Drivers for DeskJet 500

I have recently purchased an HP DeskJet 500.  The applications I am using
to print to the DJ500 are MathCad 2.5 (non-Win appl.) and ChiWriter (also
non-Win appl).  I would be interested in getting a copy of a printer driver
that correctly utilizes the DJ 500 (especially the Math fonts, Linedraw
font, Italic fonts on the Prestige Elite cartridge).  Then maybe I could modify
the drivers that currently are used by ChiWriter and MathCad.  Apparently
these drivers were written for the old DeskJets.

I have ordered MathCad 3.0 which is written as a Windows 3.0 application.
So I would also be interested in a Win3 printer driver for the DJ500.
Any hacks or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.
