- Yes Richard! Pipedream (any version). If you use the Pipedream printer
- drivers rather than the Risc Os drivers, you can set them up to do pretty
- well anything you like, when you like. In order to help with embedding
- codes in your text, Ian Copestake's Pipedrivers are a big help. I used to
- make a KX1124 beg for its dinner using them! But now I've moved on to an
- HP DJ500 with Acorn fonts and Risc Os printer drivers ... makes me (almost)
- pine for the bad old days.. :-)
