************************************

I'm using the Window's drivers supplied with the 5L for WinOS/2 and am 
printing out with AmiPro, QuattroPro, and MSWorks for Windows. Every once in
a while I have to hit the bottom button on the 5L to clear it but I'm pleased
with the results. I got mine the first week in January (belated Christmas 
from my wife <G>). I was leary about buying it because of the messages I'd
read about driver problems. Sure glad I have it now. 
I think I installed it using the Control Panel in WinOS/2 but am not quite 
certain. Good luck. If I can get the 5L working you surely can.
