Great!  Now I don't know exactly what types of "optimizations" you make
with the driver, but prehaps you "de-optimize"{it and just do
plain vanilla (obviously, not really, after all it IS a dvi driver!)
dump of the constructed .bit file to the printer.

If it helps at all, I have one of the very first units of the 1091 sold
in tis country.  (IE - mine was purchased within 2 weeks of the initial
release in the Greater Washington D.C. area.  This was way back in
high school.  I guess that makes the printer 4 or 5 years old by now...

If you  need info regarding ROM revision numbers, etc - E-Mail me.

Personally, I will keep writing E-Mail.  Also, is there a reason that the
number in the docs for the answering machine doesn't answer?
