HP 710C on an A1200?
« on: October 09, 2007, 12:49:16 PM »
Hi there again,

Just another thought (if possible). Would I be able to connect my old HP 710C to a 1200? I have the serial ports cable for it and as I have had very few problems with it in the past 10 years so it would be a shame to never use it again. I have a new printer waiting to be used on my current PC so I thought it would be an ideal time to de-comission the 710 to the Amiga so I can still enjoy it where possible. My Miggy should be online as soon as I recive my internet adapter, if all goes smoothly. Is it possible to find drivers for this online and make it work on 3.1 (and 3.9 in the future I hope)?

Thanks for looking!

P.s. Also have a SilverSurfer thing on the way, would be of any use? I know little about them.

Bugger, that turbo print app. has pretty much all the ones but skips right past mine to the 800 series! Ah well, thanks for your help guys.
I will have to carry on searching I think.

Probably be better to just find one that is of a good quality and is dedicated to an Amiga. AND one that doesn't just make noise rather then pictures *Ahem* early/mid 90's Epson Stylus's. :lol:
I just thought it being a fairly old Printer it "might" work. I'm quite fond with it too.
So what newer printers will work on Amiga directly? I have a Photo R200 from Epson but I should think that is too new.
