It's 13 Dec 97  17:57,
We'll return to mib@deakin.edu.au and All's
discussion of Counterpoint: Lexmark's lack of technical support

 mi> If I recall correctly, the Lexmark inkjet printers are all GDI, and

You're probably right.  The 1020 does appear to be GDI.  Attempting to
print from any other OS than Win 3.11 or Win 95 produces no response
from the printer, not even gibberish or plain text.

Needless to say, the one I had here went back to the shop pretty quick,
and I went for an Epson, which works well. :-)

... How many years can you get for tagline theft?
