personal label printer

[Bob Rasmussen]

If these printers can take serial data from filePro on Unix, they should 
work with Windows in similar fashion. (OTOH, if they were formerly tied to 
your terminal emulator, that's a different situation.)

Do you have a serial interface on the PC? Is it functioning? Can Notepad, 
for instance, write to the printer?
