Okimate 10 Printer Interface questions

[Amiduffer]

Heh! Haven't heard about the Oki10 in a long time. Came with my old used Amiga1000. Must be a dwindling supply of cartridges sitting around somewhere! You see dusty boxes of them occasionally in surplus stores and computer stores that never throw stuff out. Its been so long since I used it, that there weren't any issues beyond normal printer problems.

I have some new ribbons here too, but they are dried out from age. I have an Okimate 20 that acts funny, I need to get around to trying to fix it. Only C= interface here, never met the Amiga interface yet. Sorry...

The crappy thing about these printers is the print heads were notorious for going out. Back when I originally had one in the 80's the print head went out and I stayed on hold with Okidata for >2 hours getting a warranty replacement.

I used mine through broadcasting school with my A500 and A2000 until I upgraded to a Canon BJ200 and it worked without problems. Guess I lucked out.
