- I don't understand this ... how does the video driver affect printing?
- Both my HP Laser Jet II and Postscript print to file work perfectly.
- I have found TWO bugs .. reported here twice, so I'll not repeat again.

- If anyone else has bug reports, please post. I've FAXed my two bugs to both

- an ISA Plus one.
