@Thomas so is it even necessary to have the maxtransfer field available? If it's not necessary for the user to change it shouldn't the field to edit it just be removed?

We've been trained over the years to diddle with maxtransfer for various devices. If it is handled automatically now, if a user doesn't read the documentation before using (I know, I know, but that's another discussion), wouldn't having it available for them to diddle with just cause problems?

I guess the questions that need answering to make it clear follow. Are there ANY circumstances with 3.1.4 that maxtransfer should be edited? Is it the case that whatever is entered is ignored since it is handled automatically now by Kickstart / devices?

Wouldn't it be far easier just to buy out the TurboPrint source code and concentrate on new drivers for that superior system. You seem to think it is still important to support dot matrix printers in 2018 just because Workbench 3.1 did. I really am confused at bug fixes of pointless outdated parts of the operating system that no one interested in printing used past 1993 anyway!!

Believe it or not but there are still uses for dot matrix printers. I have software we wrote in SuperBase for our business. They print on carbon paper. Sure I could rewrite it to print multiple pages on a laser printer but I couldn't be bothered. This works perfectly as it is. So, personally, I am glad for fixes like these.

Thank you,perfect. Now I just need to find some in stock, looks like everyone is a no stock :(.....

You can always burn your own or use a Deneb or Kickflash if you have one. You can put the Intuition.library in that you need also.
