New user seeks wordprocessor and printer input. FILM at 11. Well maybe some neat animations on the AMIGA would be better. I have signed out an LA75. Now I need the driver. Does anyone out there have a good useful driver for the LA75? In one of the old notes there is mention of such but no pointer to it. Also where on the WKBNCH or EXTRAS disk are the supplied drivers located. I have done everything I know to find them. Any input on wordprocessors? I am leaning toward PROWRITE V2. Thanks, Rich.

For 1.3, only the generic driver is on the Workbench disk (in the same directory). The remaining drivers are on the Extras 1.3 disk in the devs/printers directory. Pete | |||||
2223.2 | a vote for ProWrite | SAUTER::SAUTER | John Sauter | Thu Feb 09 1989 07:39 | 2 |
I use ProWrite V2, and find it quite satisfactory for WYSIWYG editing. John Sauter | |||||

I have been using the LA75 with my Amy for the last two years. Before 1.3 came along, I used an LA75 driver which I generated for Text output, and an IBM_Proprinter driver for Graphics output (of course I had to switch the LA75 into "other" mode every time, and had to change drivers often). Why all this??? The IBM_ProPrinter driver produced faster cleaner graphic output. All that is ancient history now. With 1.3 I have been using the EPSONX driver and have left my LA75 in "other" mode continually. Much faster (of course) and much more control over the graphic density and parameters. I use it for text as well with no complaints. I don't know of a new LA75 "Digital" driver for 1.3. But then again, I haven't bothered to go looking since the EpsonX driver supplied with 1.3 works so well. Cheers, Stu |
