Hi, well not exactly. At present wordperfect will only let you print using the parallel port, which is why i suggested this, you mentioned you could use this. In fact Bret Johnson if you are reading this exchange, write me privately. The person who maintains Wordperfect is interested in your dos usb printer structure as a possible avenue. Additionally, the wordprefect printer drivers for dos page update in November 2012, does not recommend the c4680. It does not mean that you cannot print using wp for dos however. Edwin provides instructions for printing with wp for dos using any windows printer. I might add for those who hinted that no one writes printer drivers for dos, he most certainly does even for printing in 64 bit environments. There is information for using wp in Linux there is even one for Linux if you have this instead. As for the converting, that would likely be the easiest part since wordperfect 6.0 and later has this option for wordstar. Karen
