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.



Just an FYI -- Don't pull your hair out if it doesn't work. I had a 712C which, after hours of cursing and frustration, I couldn't get to do anything... was OK on my PC, though. (Came to the conclusion that it simply wasn't compatibile for some reason.) I ended up with an el-cheapo Canon which worked fine.

The Canon BJ series always used to give great output on Amigas, think the 4000 and up went to the software driven lose-printer architecture, but the BJC-230 etc were great.


That's exactly what I ended up with on my A1200, I think it was a BJC-2100. Worked great.
