Sean,

At SSU our bookstore has begun selling the DJ550C and DW550C.  It is looking 
like the only things that they have in common are paper and cartridge 
refills, much less simultaneous use between DOS/Windows and Mac users.  Even 
though something in the back of my mind says "Surely, there's gotta be a 
way...", my heart says "If you want me to keep functioning you better be 
efficient and buy two of 'em, maxing out the memory on both and buy the 
network interface for the DJ550C (if it's available)".  Let me know how this 
works out for you (I am facing a similar dilemma as well!).

This works for me:

[PostScript,FILE]
ATM=placeholder
CtrlD=0

[Apple LaserWriter Plus,FILE]
feed1=1
feed4=1
EpsFile=d:\print\win.eps
orient=1
advflags=542
CtrlD=0
EPS=0

[PostScript,EPT]
ATM=placeholder
CtrlD=0

I've also been interested in finding a program that will 
transparently print from windows to our Sparcprinter. It 
wouldn't be difficult to write a program to occaisionally scan 
a directory for a print file and send it to the printer if one 
is found, but I haven't gotten around to doing it. I've noticed 
that QVT/NET has some transparent printing options, but I've 
never figured out how to implement this feature. Anyone else 
have an idea?

Hi Michael,

Some video card drivers for windows aparrently built the title screen (ie 3.0) 
into the driver, and so if you went to 3.1, you still got the old title screen.
I saw this happen with a Realtek SVGA card and 3.1.

Despite my best efforts to change it, the I-beam (text insertion

find difficult to see (light-blue isn't being used in any of the
Screen Elements in the Color Control Panel, and searching for the word

Since the other followups seem to have covered virtually everything else
but Frank's question, I'll chip this bit in.

Scientific Word from TCI Software Research Inc (Las Cruces, New Mexico)
is a TeX/LaTeX based Windows word processor.  SW imports existing TeX
files and gives a "fancy" Windows GUI interface to editing many aspects
of these documents.  This are still a few rough edges though -- for
example, you have to drop into TeX editing mode to handle tables and
some other "advanced" features, but TCI say they will add direct support
for these in future.

Some people seriously dislike this program as it often bears little
resemblance to typical Windoze word processors, some love it.  Our
Physics dep't have it and have their secretaries using it to enable them
and the lecturers to interchange files.

If you would like to customize windows try finding the file

It will let you change some of the settings from the control panel

I have an Action Laser II, and I'm very happy with it.  To answer your
questions, as far as I know, Epson doesn't even have drivers for this
printer.  All over the manual they just say to use HP Laserjet IIp
drivers.

The TrueType quality is great...no complaints whatsoever.  I have also
had no problems at all with the HP emulation -- which is a good thing
since you have to use HP drivers!

I haven't used the postscript option, but I submit that for most Windows
uses, with TrueType, there is little need for postscript.  (I'm sure I'm
about to get flamed for this...I can almost feel the heat now!)  There
would of course be exceptions to this -- some programs, for instance,
are MUCH more efficient printing graphics with postscript...but on the
other hand, many are not.

All in all, I recommend the printer highly -- especially for the price!

Hmm -- interesting.  I've had a bit of a play around with this in the
past, as I sometimes want to print my Windows-generated PS files on an
Apple LaserWriter connected to our VAX and the Ctrl-D's make those
printers barf.

To start with it didn't seem to work -- my PS files still began and
ended with Ctrl-D's.  However, all the entries for my various PS printer
drivers in WIN.INI were of the form "[PostScript,FILE]".  Adding the
"CtrlD=0" line to these sections didn't affect printing.

A wave of inspiration made me change the section lines to things like
"[QMS PS-810,FILE]" (the name of one of the many PS drivers I have
installed) and bingo, the CtrlD= line seemed to work.

The moral:  If adding the CtrlD=0 line/s to your WIN.INI doesn't work,
try fiddling with the name of the printer (use the exact same literal
string the Printers Control Panel id's the printer with).

(It still doesn't seem to work for the Tektronix Phaser III PXi, but I
suspect setting the printer to use a "real" port then using the "Print
to file" check-box in the Print dialog might solve this.  It doesn't
really matter anyway, as I can access it "directly" through a network
queue, rather than having to go through the VAX.)

I think the 486-50DX2 will also have a overdrive socket for upgrade.

My experience was much like Adam's.  I received my Far Side mug no problems.
I have however, received the upgrade to the 2.0 version of the planner.  IMHO,
the 2.0 version is light years better than the original.  Amaze has also
cleaned up the text on the cartoons so that it looks much better in SVGA modes.
The total cost for the upgrade plus the 1993 Far Side cartoons was 34.95.
(14.97 for version 2.0, 14.98 for the Far Side 1993, and 5.00 shipping)
Try calling 1-800-395-1546 and asking for extension PC1.  They were very
helpful to me both times I called.  (once to order and once to inquire about
shipping date)

Perhaps some of you more experienced Windows users out there can help
me with a couple of problems I'm having with Windows.  My setup is a
DECpc 433ST running Windows 3.1.

My first problem is I'd like to figure out a way to be able to print
an existing Postscript file without having to leave Windows.  My
printer is an LN03R ScriptPrinter connected to COM2 at 19,200 and uses
XON/XOFF flow control.  I've tried nearly everything from copying to
COM2 using File Manager to the copy and print commands in a virtual
DOS machine window.  If I go through a Windows application, the text
of the Postscript program gets printed.  If I go through anything
else, I either can't get the baud rate right, or I can't get XON/XOFF
flow control working, or both.  Has anyone gotten this to work?

My second problem stems from my using COM1 to be dialed up to systems
much of the time.  What happens is that certain Windows application's
file requestors spit out the following text on COM1:

Return from GetDriveType for drive 3 is
Return from GetDriveType for drive 4 is

Which needless to say is a royal pain.  How do I get rid of these silly 
messages from the file requestors for NotePad, Write, CardFile, etc.?

I seem to recall that my DJ 500 was faster than my roommate's DJ Plus.
Roommate graduated (lucky stiff...) and moved away a while back, so I
can't compare now. Assuming that the DJ550C is at least as fast as the
DJ 500 in doing B&W, you should have a speed increase.

Anyone know if there is a plan whereby DJ500 owners can upgrade their
DJ 500s to DJ550s? There was one way back for DJ/DJ+ -> DJ 500, which
I used and was very happy with.
