Does anyone out there have a *working* dvi driver for a HP DeskJet Plus
running under MSDOS?  I understand that Beebe is coming out with a
new set of drivers that will include support for the DeskJet Plus.
Does anyone know when these will be available?

Ideally, I'd like to download fonts to the printer, but as an experiment
I got a copy of DVIJEP and set the MAXPAGEFONTS parameter to 0 which
(as I understand it) sould have forced output in bit-mapped graphics,
avoiding the incompatible LaserJet downloaded fonts.  Unfortunately,
I got a few pages of errors trying to compile with Turbo-C and didn't
feel up to hacking further.

Thanks in advance for any help.

p.s.  Pointers to a TCC compatible make file with patched sources for
DVIJEP would also be appreciated!
