Before that it was an HP printer, which I got on with somewhat better, but the the g...

So the solution I plumped for in the end (at least for a trial period) is: mch = MACHINE SELect ON mch = 18: REMark Q68 DEV_USE 2, 'fat1_': REMark Not sure about this.. = 20: REMark SMSQmulator NFA_USE 8, 'D\QL\HDW\' & EMU_NETNAME$ DEV_USE 2, 'nfa8_' = 30: REMark QPC2 DOS_DRIVE 8, 'D\QL\HDW\' &a...
