Citizen Printer

Is it possible to print MS Word files using an IBM 4610 Suremark POS Thermal printer?

I have an IBM 4610 -T12 Suremark POS Thermal Printer and I want to hook it up to my regular PC (P4. 2ghz. 2gb ram, 180gb hd, Windows XP) So I can print out MS word documents from it. Is this possible?

1. If you can find drivers for it, not sure what print quality will be like compared to an inkjet though. I think the main problem would be font translation.
2. I don't know how viable it will be to print MS Word documents on that printer, but I did come across some websites that have some drivers for you and some brochures on your printer that may work or at least help in your pursuit. Give it a try and see what happens.
