I'm trying to get my Okidata Microline 92 printer (9 pin -- circa 1986) to
work with Windows 3.1 (using the graphics modes).  Unfortunately,
the closest supplied printer driver, Okidata ML92-IBM, is close,
but not close enough.  It apparently uses a few command sequences that
the printer doesn't know about (I get graphics interspersed with
lines of gibberish ASCII).

I've looked at simtel and Compu$erve without success.

So, my questions are:
1. Does anyone already have a printer driver I could buy or beg?
2. Does anyone know what goes in a printer driver file?  If I
   had this in assembly, C, or Pascal, I have enough info
   to write my own.  Or is there a "driver writer" program that
   I could use to build a driver?
3. Does Okidata have a bulletin board, etc. that might have something
   like this?

Please send e-mail, and if I get anything useful, I'll summarize.

Thanks in advance,
