 DESCRIPTION-

        Xenographic inkjet drivers:  We all know that the output of the
        OMNI printer drivers are pretty poor when it comes to color
        output, especially when compared to their Windows counterparts.
        And quite a lot of us use inkjet printers for color output.
        (Maybe IBM thinks the world only prints to network Laser's in
        mono-chrome!)  Some of this I'm sure is due to certain company's
        reluctance to share driver info with IBM (like HP).  However,
        there is a company out there, Xenographics, that tried to work
        with IBM  about developing native ink jet drivers for OS/2, but
        was shunned by IBM.  (I wrote to the Vice President of
        Xenographics).  Xeno makes a product called "SuperPrint" and it
        is really remarkable in what it can do for an inkjet.
        Furthermore, apparently Xenographics DOES have driver
        information from the major manufactuerer's of InkJet printers.

        Suggest that someone with authority re-contact Xenographics
        about replacing the OMNI drivers for OS/2 inkjet support.
