  DMP-135, DMP-136 & DMP-137 Printer Drivers for DeskMate 
  (260-2866, 260-2868 & 260-2887)

These drivers enable the user to print from DeskMate versions 3.0 and
up (including color printing), using either the DMP 135, DMP 136,
or DMP 137 Printers.

NOTES:

   * The DMP 135 is not a color printer; however, the driver will
     work if the printer is set to the EPSON mode.

   * The option for DMP 135/136 appears in the list of printers
     only in DeskMate versions 3.04 and 3.05. This option does not
     appear in DeskMate versions prior to 3.04.

   * The DMP 136 driver can be used for the DMP 137 Printer.
