Hello. I've been trying to use opus 2.2. Apparently, I need an Epson printer
driver in order to print. When I try to run FONTWID or any of the other
programs, I get a message saying that it couldn't open a "printer workstation".
I have GDOS installed, but I have no printer drivers (I have an epson fx80).
Is there some relatively simple method to get (or create) such a driver
without going out and buying some expensive program that has GDOS included?

(I don't really understand whether or not this stuff is "public domain" or
not. I've seen the subject bounced around a little, but I didn't really
get the sense that it either was or wasn't in the public domain - or at
least copyrighted).

Anyway, any help is appreciated.

Thanx
