No, it's not quite *that* easy. I meant that you could find an applicable driver
either in the last iteration of the DDPak (or separate Omni Printer Pak), and if
not there, then on Software Choice or the eCS site's Subscribers area. If the
latter two are not available to you, some List member could probably obtain it for
you. Finally, there has been the occasional, alternate printer driver Pak release
from Japan. I'm not saying that *every* new model of printer will be represented
at one of these options, but keep in mind that you can often get at least decent
results out of an older, same mfr., similar model printer driver.
