- Also, there are two other options that work with the DeskJet:
-
- 1. Independence drives the DeskJet for 16 bit programs
-
- 2. SuperPatch 8.0 has a driver for AppleWorks 3.0 that results in
- STUNNING text if the P1 option is chosen in your WP file.
-
- One caveat about SuperPatch, it sends the wrong ESC codes in one
- case for some versions of SuperPatch. It sends a 1 rather than a l (one
- rather than a L). This has been reported to Quality Computers. As far
- as I know, they WILL release and updated version. The further good news
- is, you can correct it from the Appleworks printer menus AFTER you
- install the drivers if you have an older version.
-
- The "more better news is," the printer works with ProTerm, etc., dumps
- to PR#1. Buy it, it is GREAT!
