I send from my Wordperfect 7 (demo) to my Cannon BJC610 through
magicfilter. I tried several postscript printers, and none of them
worked. Then I went to the WP7 page and downloaded an additional
driver for the BJC610 as it was not included in the HUGE download.
I tried it first without going throught magicfilter, then tried it
through magicfilter. It worked either way.
