	Hello all netters. This is my fist posting hope it works!

	I just got myself a nice home computer. 386 -25 Mhz 256 kb Cache.
Since my wife who doesn't like computers very much shold also use it
I desided to try using windows as mush as posible.

	The printer I've got is a STAR LC 24-200 Colour which is Epson LQ 860
compatible. I have no problem printing colors from any DOS program with epson
divers, but win3 doesn't work. The printer I have selected is Epson LQ 2550 
(It is the onely 24-pin Epson with color option) and i get color output
from WfW. In the examples that come with WfW there are som docs including
color graphics (and they work), but if I try to read HPGL files into 
WfW I only get BW. Also Paintbrush is not able to print anything but 
BW. 

	Am I doing something wrong or is there a limitation in windows to
only BW printing? In that case at least Paintbrush is more or less useless.
(Paint prog. unables to print color !!!)
