- I use the 'NEC P2 plus' printer at home (it's a german version of the P2200-
- I think it has some fonts more) with the Epson - Panasonic (don't ask me
- wich of them) driver. It has some advantages for single sheet feeding.

- This 'NEC24PIN.DRV' is the driver for winos2. It is no problem to use this
- driver in your winos2 sessions and having Epson driver installed on os2
- desktop. The only thing to mention is not to make the automatic winos2
- printer installation during the installation of the os2 printer. Instead of
- use the winos2 control panel.
