Some Deskjet drivers are already on the market or in PD.
For example, Migraph (phone (206)838-4677) sells a very good GDOS
driver along with their Easy-Draw package. Maybe it is available
separately. They give 3 screen dump utilities with this package,
one for color monitor and 2 for monochrome (one for horizontal
printing, one for vertical). Once installed, these utilities allow
you to print the screen to the Deskjet with Alt+Help.

For printing from word processors, you can download drivers for the
most popular programs (i.e. face it, the one you use is an extinct
species! :-) ) from GEnie.

BTW, somebody wanted to know hoe to join GEnie. Here I repeat the ad
I found in my FLASH package:
1. Set up your modem for half-duplex, 300 or 1200 bauds
2. Dial (toll free) 1-800-638-8369. Upon connection, enter HHH
3. At the U#= prompt, enter XJM11837,FLASH and press return
4. Follow the prompts, with your credit card or checking account number handy.

Uploads are free, connexion is $5.00 an hour in non-prime time, plus
phone bill (you have better to be in a city where there is a GEnie access
line, or else it will be expansive).

Disclaimer: I have no share in any of the companies above-mentionned,
I am just a satisfy consummer. And I wrote the 1st Word Plus driver
in the GEnie Atari library, so anybody should be able to do it.
