HELP !
I have just brought a HP deskjet 500 for my AMIGA and discovered that
the drivers on workbench 1.3 hardly suport it.
Does anyone know if the drivers on the new workbench 2.0 are any good?
Or are there any word processing / page making packages avaliable that
fully suport the HP deskjet 500 ?
I have tried Word Perfect 4.1 for the amiga, boy what a step backwards
from Word Perfect 5.1 (DOS).
If you have any sugestions I would appreicate you help.
Thanks.

Local Amiga dealers are supposed to have all current printer drivrs. Ask your local dealer or Amiga club for the deskjet driver. Give the model #. Tom | |||||

I just recently bought a DeskJet 500+. What I did was a buy a product
from Creative Focus called "DJ Helper". It is an expansion on their
"Super_DJ" which is basically a hands off printer driver for the
DeskJet. (Its very good if that's all you need. )
DJ Helper : (From a flyer that came with it.)
___________________________________________________________________________
Includes:
Conversion, downloading, and selection of soft fonts, precise
positioning of graphics by row, dot or decipoint, control over all page
dimensions (margins, lpi, &c.), free manipulation of the grayscale
values of images, full access to all typefaces, character sets and font
sizes, keeping different configurations for each job or program,
redefinition of any and all AmigaDOS commands, and binary file editing
in both Hex and ASCII.
Those are just highlights of four full screens of unmatched capability.
DJHelper works with every Amiga and requires AmigaDOS 1.3 or later (it
is 2.0 compatible).

Anyway it works great, and can be bought for around $30 mail order. I
think the Super_DJ was around $15?
Hope this helps,
Randy

Randy thanks for the help.
Do you have a fax number for creative focus ?
I mailed them an order about 10 days ago and have not heard a word.
Thanks again.
