- Perhaps, but I don't think so. I've installed the IBMNULL driver.
- (BTW, you must install it - from printer disk 1, then re-apply the CSD
- - a quick operation the second time around. If you don't actually
- install IBMNULL, you don't get anything from that driver) When I use
- IBMNULL to print text files, I get strait text, but when an app tries
- to print graphics (or ATM fonts) using it, the printer gets old
- Epson/IBM 9-pin graphics. I've no problem, since my printer is an
- Epson, but it won't be what you want.
