It depends on how AmigaTalk has implemented printer support. I haven't seen it, so I can't say for sure. However, assuming that LSR: uses the printer device to process printer output then it should work OK. Since PostDriver is a full Preferences printer driver, anything that supports preferences printers works with PostDriver. If LSR: isn't using the Amiga printer device, you can still get the output to AmigaTalk using the CMD utility on the Workbench disk and print to PRT:. Just set the CMD output file to LSR: and print away. I'd like to check this with the makers of AmigaTalk, have you got an address or phone number to them? -- Leonard
