- Ken,
-
- I've used my Deskwriter on the Mac with a driver for an HP DeskJet driver
- (PowerPrint for the Mac). It works fine. I think you CAN print to your
- Deskwriter from a Windows DeskJet 550C Driver through your COM port.
-
- There are various articles on AOL on how to do it.
-
- Although IBM DeskJets are going for as little as $139.00....
