Sure! I'll volunteer!!!
Take a look at the class "Form" in particular the method "outputToPrinter"
for screen dumps and "outputToPrinterUpright" for normal prints.
In these methods are several lines that set character constants into
strings. The changes for your Oki go there.
I'm sorry that this is so vague, but I've been awake for a very long time
If you need more information, or help give me a call (416)922-0087
