Yes.  The DJ 520 of course requires a parallel interface card, or a
serial-parallel adapter.  If AW 4.x, just choose DJ 500 portrait or
something like that from the printer list.  If an earlier AW, you
will need to create a custom printer. Email for codes.

Depending on your parallel card you will need to change the printer
interface code.  The cards manual should have the necessary code. 
Also, at least with a Grappler + card, the 'Needs LF' in the printer
code area should be Yes instead of No.  If the HP just keeps printing
on one line without advancing, make this change.

On the DJ 520 itself, the first 4 bank A switches must be set Up Down
Up Down - this sets ASCII as the default font.

Then tweak the AW codes to your desire.
