	As long as someone is collecting DeskWriter incompatibilites, let me
add in two more..
	1) MicroPhone II 2.0
	2) Red Ryder 10.3

	The reason for both of these incompats is that the wonderful folks at
HP decided that REAL applications never Text Stream data to a printer and so 
they choose not to implement support for the low level printer calls in their
printer driver.  Since both RR and MPII use the low level calls in order to
properly emulate text streaming of incoming data to a logging printer, they
can not be used with the DeskWriter.

	The only known workaround is to wait for a third party, like Insight
Development to come out with a version of their MacPrint drivers for the
DeskWriter since they support the low level calls.
