1094.0. "Okidata Microline Printer Driver?" by IXION::ROST (Boozoo Chavis lookalike) Mon Mar 18 1991 16:02

    
    I've got an old Okidata Microline u80 printer that I'd like to get a
    driver for.  It prints straight ASCII dumps fine (i.e. printing out doc
    files and such) but it can't handle screen dumps nor will it work with
    1st Word.
    
    If anyone either has a driver or can explain to me how to create one (I
    do have access to the docs on the printer's graphics), I'd appreciate
    it.

1094.1Hmmm. COuld be a problem.PRNSYS::LOMICKAJJeffrey A. LomickaMon Mar 18 1991 18:113
That sounds like the same one we have at Church - which doesn't do
graphics AT ALL.  I may be wrong, but it's a possibility.  I'll check
the model number and let you know.

    Actually, I got the number wrong, silly me, it's an 82A.  The graphics
    require installation of an extra chip, the instructions give some
    driver code for an Apple II of all things....sheesh...

1094.3Hardware solution?NOHOST::LEVINBryan, LeNAC (Networks) Soft Eng, MLO3-3, DTN 223-9407Tue May 14 1991 12:129
    See note 1121.0.  Let me know if this is a reasonable solution.
    
    Of course, the software would be different, but the hardware should be
    the same.
    
    Maybe I'll make the software generic enough to allow other x->y
    conversions.
