My printer only works with my A500!
« on: January 09, 2003, 02:49:48 PM »
I have this old star LC200 printer that would be very usefull for office stuff.
I tried it out on my PC, with the windows drivers, and with other star drivers I found, but no luck.
It used to work on my A500 so I decided to try it on the A1200. The printer is compatible with some Epson printer whose driver I tried, but I even found an official  dedicated driver on Aminet! No luck.
 I though the printer was broke and gave up. That was an year ago.
Today, just by ocasion I pulled out the dusty A500 and found that the printer only works with the A500!!!! :-D
Is the parallel port of the A1200 diferent?

Hi guys. No way. Everything you said I've already done! The printer restarts after I reboot, on any system, wether WB3.1 on my A1200, WB1.3 on the A500, and even on Winblows98. But it only prints on the A500. Go figure. :-? I'm gonna try WB1.3 on the A1200 when I get home.
