| I have an Epson RX-80F/T with the Dresselhaus "Dots perfect" character
ROM and both serial and parallel ports built in that I will sacrafice
for $250.

| I was able to use the LJ250 directly from the Amiga serial port
without any problems. I borrowed one from the training center here
along with the cable being used to connect it to the uv2. I connected
it to the serial switch box (from DEC) loaded the HP-Paintjet driver
(made available through another note in this conference) and proceeded
to print text (all letter quality) and great pictures from just
about anywhere I could find anything worth looking at.
Since then whenever I have a picture worth printing I use the CMD
program on the Ami to capture the LJ250 print info to a file, which
I then upload to work and print it to the LJ250 spooled off of the
VAX, which works great for me (but then I don't print a lot of
pictures).

(ps: you should check out the earlier message about the LJ for
connection information and a driver location.)

| 1255.3 | Works fine!!!! | WINNER::JBERNARD | John Bernard YWO/292-2591 | Mon Mar 21 1988 09:32 | 15 |
| If you're buying the LJ strictly for your Amiga, I would suggest
getting the LJ252. This is the parallel version of this printer
and directly attaches to the Amiga parallel port (it even comes
with the proper cable!!!)
With this setup, you have the LJ off the Parallel port and either
another printer or modem off your serial port.
When using SMOKEY terminal emulator, you can Ascii Capture to PRT:
and you essentially have an amy printer port. I currently have
this setup at work, and it works fine... no bugs at all. The best
part is that the printer is very quiet.

| You have an A500 at the office? What are you using it for. We may
consider an Amiga here for digitizing as part of the art production
process.

| I use it as a workstation until my VaxStation 2000 comes in. It's
great for doc prep and blowing the socks off people who come by
and ask "what's that"? Actually, I'm in the VT200 emulator most
of the time, but it sure is easy to up/download at 9600 baud!
