- I have the same printer and use the Silentwriter 2 Model 90 driver
- bundled with GA. Its worked fine for me, although I don't know if
- it supports level 2. NEC apparently is in cahoots with Microsoft
- and doesn't want to support OS/2 driver development yet. I hope
- people call up and yell at them for this. If they don't get their
- act together, my next printer is NOT going to be an NEC product,
- no matter how many excellence awards they win. (I don't know if
- this one has, but its got an excellent price and a lot of features).
-
- I hope someone from NEC is reading this.
