Ouch! Apparently, you're right :-/ https://download.brother.com/welcome/doc003061/cv_hl3140cw_asoce_usr.p df On page 190. Yesterday I haven't noticed that the manual was "universal"... If the printer is indeed GDI, that's bad luck in terms of direct printing from DOS. If you can print to this from Linux, there's still a chance if the Linux box functions as a proxy. Via the network. Or if "GDI" actually means PCL3, but that's a slim chance. This would be the first GDI printer with a duplexer and a built-in network port that I'm aware of :-( Frank _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
