I'm not 100% sure, but the Harmonie drivers might
include drivers for that printer. HP settings are also
recommended if I'm not mistaken. I don't believe
AppleTalk is necessary for a single stand-alone
application, which is what you are describing. You
can get the Harmonie drivers from sources online,
but I am not aware of the links offhand. Good Luck.
