Is the Model 43 an RS232 interface? If so you might be able to tell windows
it's a "generic" printer or something like that so that it will just try to
send plain text to that, if you can still do that in windows. You should be
able to feed it with a USB-to-RS232 adaptor. The pictures I've seen of the
43 appear to show a DB25 connector which *could* mean it's RS232 but I've
seen current loop on DB25 too, so that's not conclusive.
