I installed OS/2 2.1 Beta with the HP Deskjet 500 Driver.. printer is 
connected to LPT1, IRQ 5 currently.  When I try to print, it just
thinks the printer is offline or something.. giving me an abort/retry
message.  THe printer seems to be about the print something, but doesn't.
It works fine in native Dual-Booted DOS or Windows.  I tried switching
around the IRQ's.. from 7 to 5, and vice versa.. but nothing seems
to work.. anyone else have this problem, or know how to solve it?

And another less important question.. one day, the words/letters under
the icons on my desktop decided to enlarge themselves.. look like bold-flace
..err.. bold-face 12 pt or something.. how do I change it back?

Thanks.. =)

Lyle
