  I just got Windows 3.0 and I want to set up my printer but I can't answer
the questions asked.   The printer is a Star NX1000 Rainbow but this option
is not available so I chose the next best thing according to my printer
manual: Epson LX800.  Here are my questions so if you have set this up yourself
please let me know.  Thanks

1)  Is there a better driver to choose from.  I noticed the LX800 doesn't
allow for color printing.  Is there possibly a driver somewhere that I can
download that is specifically for the Star Rainbow?

2)  If no to the above, what would be that answer to graphics resolution:
240 x 144
120 x 144
120 x  72

3)  Lastly, what is the orientation?  Portrait or Landscape and what is the
difference?

  Thanks for any help that comes.
