  Surprised?  It allows them to sell you half a printer and still charge
you money for it!

  Naturally it should be able to run from DOS as long as it has a driver
running under Windoze, intercepting "print" output.  I'm sure it could
"emulate" all sorts of things too because the computer is doing all the
work.

  It has enough buffer to keep writing the sheet as long as the computer
is doing *nothing* else at the time and doesn't get stuck too often with
disk accesses or whatever in which case - well you throw out the sheet
and start again.  But you wouldn't *want* to use your computer for
anything else while printing, would you?

  ROTFL

  Haven't I heard of "GDI" or similar concept modems somewhere? ;-)
