You'll need a printer with a parallel port....this instantly means you'll need a printer that's 10 years old or more. Unless those modern usb/parallel converters work? Has anyone tried them before? They've been out years but I've never heard of anyone using them. If they did work, then would it be just a matter of using the Postscript driver on the Amiga side?
It'd be :cool: to have a modern printer hooked up. I used to use an Epson Stylus Photo (bloody heads always clogged up) and then a HP Deskjet 600 which someone gave to me (much more reliable).

I got away from dot matrix and got an HP LaserJet 4 for my first A500 around 17 years ago. Funny thing is, even though I sold that computer years ago I still have the printer, and if I boot one of that A500's WB discs, there it still remains, set as the default device. :)


You made a change to your original WB disk? Shame on you!

I'm both shocked and surprised!

You should always work with a copy! :lol:
