Funny, isn't it - not. Something so simple as printing text - that even
the earliest computers could cope with - gives problems with the latest
software.
Of course printer drivers were always something of a nightmare - each new

I do wonder if it's to some extent deliberate. Make sure nothing is
compatible.
