[Coco] printing

[Bill Pierce]

Tom, drivewire already does that. There's a driver for OS9 that sends the print to dw4, it's part of the NitrOS9 distribution on the drivewire and becker disks. No one has done anything for RSDOS yet, but it shouldn't be hard to do. The code to access dw4 is already in hdbdos for dw4. It just needs to be utilized.

Has it ever been looked into creating virtual drivers that intercept print jobs, 
route them through Drivewire, for example, and send them to a local printer on 
the PC?

hi guys
I used to pring a lot of  things way back when with the  dmp -105 printer  now  
that  ribbons are no longer to be  found for it 
is there any other option  to still be able  to print  stuff using old software

I know  theres some okidata  still being sold    but  wasmt sure  it would work  
due  most  of my  software required  the 105
thanks  guys
