We've been using MacPrint and ATM with our DeskJet printer for
many months now. I found MacPrint to be vastly superior to HPDJ, and the
MacPrint/ATM combo to be vastly superior to MacPrint alone. You can get
MacPrint quite cheaply from MacConnection or MacWarehouse.

MacPrint works fine with HyperCard, SuperPaint 2.0, MacWrite, FullWrite,
Quicken, File, and every other program we've tried with it.

I've heard consistently bad things about the Orange Micro and Datapak
drivers, but many people seem to like GDT driver. Again, we're VERY
pleased with MacPrint and can heartily recommend it.
