The de facto OS/2 standard ftp site is ftp-os2.nmsu.edu. It is huge. You may not find the drivers you are looking for there. My suggestion on both models is to rely on any compatibility they over. For example, is the NEC compatible with any Epson model? (In fact, that's what a lot of applications and Windows can do -- they will list a particular model, but internally they'll use an Epson or some other compatible driver. I hope OS/2 continues to crosslist specific models -- this next beta includes a lot more.) -- Timothy F.
