There are a group of standard drivers that came with newton.

That is the powerprint people's extra print stuff.

Don't know, but the stylewriter II has built in support from the
Newton, so powerprint is moot in that regard as you know. Try printing
a test page by turning the stylewriter on from the button on it and
holding the button down until it prints. If that works, then what kind
of serial cable are you using?

I think the faxed page is a bit smaller, due to extra headers? Not sure
on that either, sorry.
