I am retiring my old Radio Shack Model II system and moving onto a new
MS-DOS type of machine.  I would like to continue using my old Radio
Shack printer, however.  Many programs are able to print graphics as
well as text if they recognize the printer type.  My question, oh ye
wizards of the net, is who manufactured my printer, a DMP-200?  What
identifying character string will MS-DOS programs (like Lotus 123)
recognize that will allow them to properly print graphics on this
printer?

Right now I have it hooked up to a printer port as a generic text-only
printer and, aside from not knowing what to do with tabs and
backspaces, it is adequate for this role.  Of course, having text
printing capabilities now, I obviously lust after GRAPHICS printing as
well.

Any suggestions that are not too vulger will be happily received!
