Summary:

Enclosed in the upgrade letters and retail packages of Microsoft Word version 4.00 is a coupon for a serial printer driver called Mac Daisy Link from GDT Softworks, Inc. This driver supports all the printers that the Word versions 3.0x serial driver does. The cost of Mac Daisy Link is $10.00 (plus tax where applicable); a $2.50 postage and handling fee is required.

Microsoft does not support the use of the Word 3.x serial printer driver with Word 4.00.

If you are printing to an Apple ImageWriter or LaserWriter, Microsoft recommends using the Apple printer drivers provided on the Printing Tools disk that comes with the System software.

However, Microsoft recommends using the Mac Daisy Link software for any dot-matrix, daisywheel, or serial printer.
