Hi Folks,

I have (probably unwisely) bought a brand spanking new Epson Stylus C87
colour printer.
I bought this particular beast because it was the only make/model that my
local computer supplier could find that was able to connect via parallel
port, an essential feature for the computer my business runs on.

Having got it home, I find that it doesn't run under DOS ! Only Win32
or Mac. Wonderful !!!!!
There goes any hope that I can use it for my business, which runs exclusively
in DOS.

So perhaps it will at least run under BL2 (or even BL3 ?).

Any advice on how to set up lpr ? All my attempts so far have
resulted in a lot of paper sheets with a small amount of garbage printed in
the top left-hand corner of each sheet.

I think I may have just paid good money for an expensive paper weight.
:(

Regards,
Ron
