Hi All, I am in need of a printer driver for WordPerfect 8 for Linux. I just recently upgraded my printer to a HP Deskjet 960C and find that there are no new drivers included with WP8. I have been unable to locate any and have not gotten any responses from Corel or Xandros about them yet. The deskjet drivers included in the package do not allow many of the functions this new printer has, so I would like very much to get or make a driver suitable for use. I am hoping someone out there has a newer driver or can point me to a spot that I might download one. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Did Corel still mantain WordPerfect?

Perhaps you can install an HP printer in CUPS or LPD (the one you're using) and then install in WordPerfect a PostScript printer that points to the CUPS/LPD filters... It's an idea, don't known wordperfect so I don't know if this could be viable or about how to do it exactly...

I have no experience with the Deskjet 960 C but I am using Turboprint 1.5 on my machine with another Deskjet and an Epson Photo Stylus. The program works like a charm and let you choose all the available possibilities of your printer. Assume it also works with Wordperfect and I know it has the Deskjet 960C on its list of printers. Suggest you give it a try. On Saturday 15 December 2001 10:08, you wrote:
