I agree this would be nice - I have mentioned it previously, but we seem
to be barking up the wrong tree to some extent when it comes to using
Windows only printers. A filter between QPC2 and the Windows printer
driver is really not of any use to the general QL public, as it will not
work
I agreed with Jochen, exporting is pointless unless you already have
something on the QL that you need to convert, and 99% of the time Geoff's
QL2PC does that admirably.
If you have to use OpenOffice on a PC to print QL documents, why not get
rid of the QL altogther and just use OpenOffice to

Hi Jérôme,
Side-question: is the text87 patch available for Q40 ? (I read about it
for QPC). I'm lacking text87 in 1024x512 so far...

I don't know how many inquiries have been passed on to Marcel
and at which level he decides to invest more time...
I guess that non-QPC

The last one is not correct. I can load without problems very large

This is only part of the story. There is also a general move by the
computer industry to have fewer interfaces and, by extension, fewer
drivers on a system. USB II is much faster than Parallel - actually even
USB 1.1 was. They also want to lose the PS/2 ports and use USB for
