I don't understand what the problm you are having is.  I use the win printer
driver with my DJ500 with no problems whatsoever, using cartrige, soft, and 
truetype fonts.

are you setting any switches or modes on your printer first?  that is a BIG
NO NO!  Make sure that you:

	1) Have all the dip switches properly set (mine are all at default)
	2) Handle ALL your print options throught software (do not set print
		modes, or fonts or envelope feed on the printer)
	3) Make sure that you have the correct printer driver (dont use a
		driver for a deskjet plus when you only have a plain deskjet)
