Hi Curt,

I hooked up my Deskjet 500 for several reasons with a hard-/software
bundle called "PowerPrint".

It carries a serial to parallel printer cable and -all in all-
good working printer drivers, e.g. for Epson printers.

Shortcomings are difficulties with virtual memory (the apps need a
lot more memory, about three times more) and the lack of background
printing.

But, I am quite satisfied. I use it regularly with my PB 140 to print
out my documents whereever I am, the speed, at least, is o.k.

The address of the company is:

GDT Softworks Inc.
4664 Lougheed Highway, Suite # 188
Burnaby, BC V5C 6B7

CIS 72137,3246
Phone: 604-299-3379
Fax: 604-291-9689

Hope it will help,    Ulli
