I also have purchased the HP DeskWriter and am generally pleased with the
results, but I've found a few "bugs" also.  MS Word 3.1 prints left-justified
text correctly, but text that is right-justified, or positioned by a tab stop
gets printed approximately 1/8 inch to the right.  This error is cumulative,
so the text following a fourth tab column is a full inch to the right.  I
tried the same test with MacWrite and it outputs correctly.  The print
dialog in MS Word also obliterates the DeskWriter "Best|Faster" buttons and
the "Back to Font" checkbox.  Has anyone tried MS Word 4.0 with a DeskWriter?
 
Another problem I have is that every program I have written with THINK C
which prints fails during the "PrPicFile" function with the dialog box
indicating there is not enough memory available to use the driver's outline
font descriptions (even though my programs are only 40-60K in size running
under Finder with System 6.0.3 and I have 2.5Mb of RAM).  Since the
THINK C compiler itself prints files just fine, I wonder if there is some
magic command I must issue to get these programs to work?  Any suggestions
would be appreciated.
