Umm, what details of the printer are you able to tell us?

Hopefully it is a common brand which should still have OS/2 drivers from
say 10-12 years ago. It should certainly have drivers from Warp 4 which
should continue to function under eCS...

Down here in Oz, we have an old IBM 42XX heavy duty impact printer plus an
Epson 570+ still functioning on eCS 1.2.

I am confident that something can be done as long as the printer can be
maintained hardware-wise.

That conjures up some mind-warping <g> images in relation to a person
signing with the name "Elaine Hatfield" :-)

I will copy this email to the os/2 Australian mailing list for further
help.
