Re: [Thinkpad] creating DOT_00x printer port on 560x (Win98)?

I will ujpgrade my warning that anything out of the ordinary is real
trouble in any of the HPS PSC printers. I don't know the answer to
your question, but I do know that most things don't work right on that
printer unless you have a normal install and use a USB connection.

Suggest you find a good used older Office Jet model
