On that note, where would I get color ribbons?  I have a whole box of
black ribbons, but no color.   Thanks for the above info, anyway.  I have
the manual that comes with the printer, so I at least have the printer
codes.  Hmm... maybe I just found my first programming project for the
IIgs...  Any one have a used copy of the Device Driver reference they'd
care to sell?  If not, Byteworks still has copies don't they?
