I need a printer driver for a Brother M-1109 printer, and I am ready to
write one myself but I am not sure what is involved.  I imagine if it  is
anything like a Macintosh driver it is pretty complicated.

Anyway, we are using OS/2 1.1 and the upgrade is on it's way.  I don't have
any tech refs, however, and I would like to know what I will need and where
the best place to get it is.  The local computercrap was of no help.

Also, I will need a new compiler since our Turbo C does not support protected
mode.  I assume Microsoft 6. is the preferred package.  Has anyone seen any
good deals around?  Perhaps you would recommend something else.

Also if anyone has seen a driver for the HP PaintJet we could use that.

Thanks!
Jeff
