Title: What laser printers does the Classic Amiga have drivers for?
Post by: FuZion on April 27, 2003, 10:55:40 AM

I think the subject says it really.

My printer has given up on me & I'm thinking of getting a laser. Does anyone out there use a laser printer on the Amiga?

I did do years ago  (about 1993 ) When my works flogged me one of their old uns for £50..  Which was a bargain at the time... Until the Toner cartridge ran out...

Cost an arm & leg to replace back then,  as did the drum.

It worked ok though on generic drivers (Can't remember what the printer was)

Hmmm... does the generic driver support graphics? I can't remember.

Many laser printers are compatible with Hewlett-Packard's PCL(?) language, so the HP LaserJet driver will work with many printers.

If the printer you want isn't supported by AmigaOS directly, it might be supported by TurboPrint.
