That should be useful, at least at one important location, since two of the printers in our office are HP -- although one is a recent inkjet model.   

Carl,

That said, I would find it more widely useful than the Ghostscript option if I could just somehow work through a regular Windows printer dialog that came up, allowing direct address to a much broader array of latter day printers.  (And which would therefore include access to wireless printing.)  But it sounds like that is not an option here (?), and the only way to achieve that is via the use of current NB  ?

Printing is easy with vDos-lfn and the XyWrite installer. Choose the 
option to install GhostScript, and in XyWrite 4, load POSTGHST.PRN as 
your printer file. Without further configuration, the TY (or PRINT) 
command should print to a PDF that opens in your default PDF 
viewer/editor. From there you can print to any Windows printer.
