Alternative way (rather then writing printer driver obsolete in a couple of month) : to provide a way to export documents with all attributes and print then with tools like, saiy, OpenOffice ..

Well, it depends on how you define "general QL public". I estimate that the number of ACTIVE QL software users is actually running their software on QPC (well, I know the sales figures, don't I?) ;-) And there was no problem, wish and demand for anything but printing solutions (for QLs *AND* QPCs, of which the majority was QPC users). Well, and like you say: I am not aware of masses of current printers (and "current" means "several years" which can be used with a QL. Considering that users want a modern printer which can be used on various systems, I doubt that a dot-matrix printer (yes, you still get plenty, very expensive ones from EPSON) is the solution. Look at how many people use QPC on Laptops - it is quite natural that they would also like it to print on current colour printers, or portable inkjets etc. Jochen
