Title: studioprint
Post by: amiga4001 on January 17, 2007, 09:52:59 PM

Is this software still available?
And is it freeware or commercial?
I need it to get my pegasos2 printing with pagestream through usb.
This seems to be working?
Only other program I manage to get printing is amigawriter with the build in Tprint.

You mean AmigaWriter comes with Turbo Print? Which version of AmigaWriter and which version of Turbo Print is included?

Hi :-)

Studio is (was) a commercial utility, was distributed by schatzrhue.

Despite the fact that it can print to usb, it have no recent drivers for modern printers :-( and it's author don't want to touch it again :-( :-(

Amiga4001 : Turboprint is included in MorphOS and Epson_StylusColor680 is REALLY supported by TP ;)

With Pagestream, you could use internal printer drivers or use Ghostscript ? Actually i use B&W laserprinter...

Is there a way I can get drivers for my HP 840C (which I bought for 10 Euros) on classic Amiga? Considering that Turboprint costs like x6 as much as what I paid for the printer, I consider the price a ripoff... I don't mind paying for software but there is a limit.

Everblue : buy a Turboprint copy on ebay (often less than 10 EUR in european countries) or try the following driver (aminet ruleZ)

If the HP870c driver doesn't work for the HP500c drivers will work with that printer.

Ok I installed 870c drivers - works great!

But first:

While installing HP 840c printer drivers it asked me if i wanted to change any prefs settings, i chose yes, and then it GURUd.... then I installed it again and deselected change prefs.... and it installed fine... now i can change the prefs anyway without problems - any ideas ?

Thanks again


:D
