2988.0. "Printer file question." by DNEAST::BAKER_CHUCK () Thu Oct 05 1989 11:07

    
      I'm a new Amiga owner and I need help with my printer set-up.
    
    Is there a utility somewhere that will help me set up my own printer
    file?  I can't seem to find a pre-made file for my Sharp 7000x thermal
    Xfer printer.
    
      Any other ideas are also welcome.
    
    Chuck

	� Is there a utility somewhere that will help me set up my own printer � file? I can't seem to find a pre-made file for my Sharp 7000x thermal � Xfer printer. There's probably a couple of things you can do. 1. Get stuck into your printer documentation to see if there is a way to make it emulate another printer (Epson most likely) by setting dipswitches or something, or if you've lost the documentation along the way, write to Sharp to ask them the same. 2. Write to Sharp to see if they have a printer driver. 3. (Last resort) revert to the 1.2 printer drivers (by replacing the 1.3 printer.device with the 1.2 printer.device) and then use a utility called prtdrvgen (its on the net somewhere....) which will then modify the generic printer driver to suit your printer. (but be aware that you will need the printer documentation to hand when you're doing this.) PrtDrvGen only works with 1.2 drivers :-( Alan T.
