do you have USB ports? (Algor? Highway? other?)

do you have a functioning USB stack? Poseidon or other?

If you're working with Amithlon have you bought the Medusa package from IOSpirit?

I'm not certain any native OS 3.9 printer drivers were written with USB printers in mind.

The Turboprint printer compatability list:

http://www.irseesoft.de/tp_drive7.htm

indicates at least a few printers with USB connections like the HP laserjet 1300.  I have an older copy of Turboprint too and I think that driver is in there.

I'd suggest your best bet would be to upgrade to 7.6 if you can't get your 7.3 drivers to work.  The update is a little less than half the price I just paid for my HP 2650 which isn't on their list (I'm using it on my laptop and haven't tested it with Amiga drivers yet).




Sincerely,
