Perfect.  That's me.  I have a GS with a DeskWriter 540, with the
Harmonie drivers.

No, it's not possible.  The problem is that the Harmonie drivers
are designed to work with the Print Manager toolset.  Toolsets aren't
used under most P8 programs, since they were intended to work on
computers without toolsets (e.g. ProTERM works just as well on my
Apple IIe).

So, if the P8 program was designed to use toolsets, then, yes, it
might be able to print to a DeskWriter.  But it'd be under a custom
interface, built into the P8 program, not with the Harmonie drivers.
