Thanks for this help! I am now at a point where I can print a file to the NT
printer. The formating is all screwed up. How can I avoid the "staircase"
effect on text documents? How can I print PDF and Word document files?
One PDF file, I tried to print had all postscript type gibberish all over
the pages. There was nothing readable.

Thanks again for your help.
