2791.0. "DeskJet HP & A1000?!." by HAMER::DRAGOMIRESCU () Tue Aug 01 1989 14:47

HI,!. Is there anyone who listen ?!.
I have encounter a very strange reaction from Amiga user notes, once
someone answer, but it was very direct and ask me "How did I get his name?"
promise next that is going to help, "HELP" never got to me, and the
other two times I have try it, I got no response .
Maybe my name, or who know what makes me "noteInvisible",. but I need a
"little help from a friend" or a one of YOU (the SUPER_USER_AMIGA_WIZARDS"
I have noting to loose and ask :

I have a DeskJet HP and I want to use it with my A1000, is there a driver
for it,? I looked through notes and I do not see anything related to DJ printer,
serial or parallel connection, I usual do my "Home work" but this time I got
stack!.
thanks! . Alex.

2791.1supplied with 1.3SAUTER::SAUTERJohn SauterWed Aug 02 1989 08:308
    I don't have a DeskJet, but I seem to remember a printer driver for it
    as part of AmogaDOS version 1.3.  I believe there is an Icon under
    System which runs a script which installs additional printer drivers
    from the supplemental disk.
    
    Sorry to be vague, but I have a hard disk so I just keep all the
    printer drivers on it.  Can anybody supply more precise instructions?

    shouldn't take long to find it out !

2791.3tanks for the help!!!HAMER::DRAGOMIRESCUFri Aug 04 1989 11:474
From your reply,it seem to me that I have to get WB 1.3 for the DJ. drivers
I am still using the 1.2 version, but now I have to go with 1.3.!
I thank you John and Kari for your prompt response.!!!
Alex.!
2791.4I have forgotten....EEMELI::LINDENFri Aug 04 1989 12:229
    re: .2
    I haven't got much to check the WB 1.3 drivers but I'll check them for
    next monday.
    
    Anyway you should go after WB1.3 set because the the printer drivers in
    there are much more faster than in WB1.2 also there is couple other 
    goodies too !!

    Yes, in the EXTRAS disk of the Enhancer Software package Amiga DOS
    V1.3, there are drivers for the HP Deskjet, LaserJet, PaintJet and
    HP ThinkJet. I have the 1.3 update manual on hand. If you have more
    questions, I might be able to help.
