Have you tried copying WP's laserjet printer driver and use that?  I'm not
sure but I think it'll work.

Pro. Page looks like shit on anything other than Postscript.  I'd suggest
getting PageStream.  It has a few bugs (some of which have been fixed with
version 1.6) but the output looks *outstanding* on any printer!

I know Mary Hoffman, Vice President of Safe Harbor Computer Supplies uses
and loves her DeskJet.  Give her a call at (414) 544-2066.  They have an
800 number but I can't remember it.  Her husband seems to really know the
tech. side of things (and they have good prices and *great* service too!).
