My printer is an old PCL 6 command language printer.
Just send it a simple PCL string and it will do anything
I want. New win printers have all their smarts removed
and placed in a windows file. Windows now does
what the inner works of the printer use to do. It
forces you to use windows.

I use these drivers, working on 2 modern machines w/o floppy drives
downloading files, and 4 vintage laptops with usb 1.1 , transferring files

Works on both FAT16 and FAT32 but not on Compaq DOS 3.31 (need 4.0 or
higher).
