Ha! Nothing personal, Reed, but seeing that you work for HP, the phrase
"HP, heal thyself" comes to mind...  We have quite a lot of Quietjet
printers in our organisation, and it was a big bone of contention when 
the PC support people realised that the Thinkjet driver didn't work with
the Quietjet under Windows 3.0, and both Microsoft and HP stated that
there was no intention to supply a W3 Quietjet driver.  It got pretty
acrimonious between Shell and HP Netherlands for a while, I understand.

Finally, the PC support people got hold of the SoftStyle Quietjet
driver for Windows 2.11 that had been patched for W3, and that solved
the problem.  I don't know whether that was supplied by HP, or whether
they got it from elsewhere, but it took a *lot* of screaming on our part
before a solution was found.
