	You should be able to use the driver for the JX80. In text
mode, you should be all right. I don't know about graphics. This 
information is second-hand. I do not have the Toshiba printer
and cannot say for sure what degree of compatibility exists.

	For using a printer with text, if it is at all Epson-like,
any Epson driver should suffice. You should refer to the command 
table for the Epson printer-driver found on page I-8 (volume II)
of the Rom Kernal Manual for a complete list of Epson command
sequences. If your printer recognizes these, you are in good
shape.
