The best printer for your Amiga is not a printer per se. It is a program called TurboPrint. Why would you throw away an inkjet? Because you think it wouldn't work? Or because it doesn't have a parallel interface?

If that's the case, then you have a ton of choices. At your local GoodWill, ePay, Salavating Amy, etc. you will find various "obsolete" printers w/ parallel interfaces. InkJet, BubbleJet, Laser, Dot-Matrix, whatever. Heck, there's even a USB<>Parallel adapter if need be.

OR you could always get a Subway & TurboPrint if you'd like to use a semi-modern printer with your Amiga.

BTW: I have a VERY modern USB only Inket printer I use with my A2500 (thanks Deneb, Turboprint, etc.). Get this... without fudging around with the settings too much, I can get the output to look as if an ancient dot-matrix printer produced it! lol  That's extremely hilarious as this is a top end, photo-realistic, 7 cartridge printer I am using. I LOVE it!  lol

Reminds me of the Gorilla-Banana Atari 8-bit days   :-)
