4557.0. "Star NX 1000 Rainbow driver?" by SHARE::DOYLE () Fri Mar 01 1991 12:14

    
    A friend of mine has purchased an A500, and needs a Star NX1000 Rainbow
    driver, a search through dir/title=star didn't turn up anything.
    Does anyone know if a driver is available.
    
    							Thanks;

	I believe one of the stock drivers should work. I have the Star NX1000
balck and white printer. I have used a driver with Deluxe Print that made
multiple passes, so I presume it was trying to do colors. I believe the driver
name had "CBM" in it. I'll check tonight and post the exact name.

    About 2 years ago I was testing out a Star Rainbow printer for a friend,
    and I did find a driver for it.  I don't remember if I got it from this
    network or Compuserve.  When I tested it out it did work correctly for
    both text and graphics.  Now, one the drivers from the 1.3 Extras disk
    may work correctly, I don't know, I didn't try any of them. But even
    though I don't have a Rainbow, I probably still have that old driver
    somewhere.  So if you need it I could track it down and upload it to
    TAPE.  Let me know if you need it. I will be out of town for a week, so
    I might not be able to do it for a while.
4557.3I think I used Epson driverAUSSIE::BAKERI fell into the void *Sun Mar 03 1991 22:4112
    I think I was using one of the epson drivers (FX80????) on mine. I certainly
    was able to get colour from Deluxe Paint. Its really just a matter
    of hunting around, I know one of the standard ones definitely works.
    
    One gotcha, careful with images that have predominately black
    backgrounds, they really waste your colour ribbons, and dont use
    the colour ones for just b/w text printing, get some black ribbons
    for general use.
