Yes, I am sure that you are right, but you took me out of context. What I
said was that the Deskjet will not do graphics with Elan's Eroff system.
By itself, the deskjet does just fine on graphics.  I use it with
LOTS of graphic programs with no problems, but I WANT to use it with
grap and pic (Eroff)! Elan says that it will not work because of the 
inability of the Deskjet to do REVERSE LINE FEEDS larger than a line or 2!
I have been told that HP has a new Prom for the Deskjet that fixes this 
but will not release it to the public. 

HELP!!!
