I have a Tri-star 386 pc. Afriend has given me a dmp 135 Tandy
printer. I am running Windows 3.11 for workgroups. As I
understand it, to print I need a driver, since no suitable driver
is included in my Windows software.
     Is a driver for this printer, or a suitable substitute,
availble here  or somewhaere else.
Any help would be most welcome.
thank you,
Rich Barrell

You should be able to set the DMP-135 to emulate either the IBM
Proprinter II or the Epson FX-850, then use the Windows driver
for whichever you select to emulate.  See the file TPRWIN.TXT in
LIB 1 for details.

Horace;
     Thank you for help with my printer. Using the info you
provided I was able to track down the correct driver, and I'm
happy to say I have now printed my first test document,
successfully.
thanks again,

Glad it worked out.  It's good to make use of the printer's
capability for good looking output.
