I don't like to make publicity for commercial programs,
but NewDEAL Office (www.newdealinc.com) is very good and has drivers for
many printers.
The bad thing is, that there is no standard for printers, only fe.
postscript. But postscript printers (laserprinters) are very expensive, but
there are many DOS programs which support this.
That's the realy problem, companies aren't interesting in DOS and don't make
DOS drivers. They write because DOS is 16-bit and very old .... but that
wouldn't be a problem.
