I did post this item a bit tongue in cheek to illustrate the point that we are unlikely to get a quick or easy solution to the printer problem. In fact I am moving in the same direction as you. I prefer to do all Just Words! work on a laser, which is cheaper and more durable than an inkjet. It is easy to transfer to PC format via QL-2-PC Transfer and save to dos1_. This can then be picked up by a PC program. Other QL output can be saved to file and then transferred to PC. At the beginning of this year I moved all my spreadsheets to PC. I prefer it because it is easier to use both Euros and £s together in a spreadsheet and also much easier to print out because PCs use vector fonts. Even LineDesign output can be transferred to PC format. Now wordprocessing......
