The ThinkJet emulates most of the functions of the MX-80 (with graphtrax). Graphics it does understand. Italics it does not. Underline it does, bold it does, n/216 " spacing it does not. I am able to use an epson-targetted routine to do a graphics screen dump to my thinkjet and the only problem is that the output is too narrow. Not a serious problem... Furthermore, printing a 100 page document on the HP will not cause permanent hearing loss ( :-) ) -- Harold Bamford AT&T Bell Labs Naperville, Ill (cornet) 8-367-5744 (312) 979-5744 (work)
