Homebrew PCBs

Hi Derek,
Thanks for the reply. 
I don't understand the last sentence of your post stating that all 
DOS programs are sending the printjob through Windows.
Boardmaker does not work under Windows; Windows should not even be 
detected. Boardmaker is a pure DOS program and works on a PC without 
Windows on it. The printerdriver is contained in the program and has 
HP PCL3 language.
But if your old program can print to a HP970 I am confident it will 
work with the HP960 DeskJet too.
