I agree with Uffe,just try to get a modern ink-jet printer that does'nt
require one to purchase an extra program so as to get the relevant
printer-driver to use that printer,and when you have paid your money just
ring the printer support lines,tell them you are on an Amiga and I know
from experience that you will get no support from them,both Canon and Epson
have refused support to myself in the last two weeks once the word"AMIGA"
is mentioned,Epson have implied that I have nullified my guarantee by
merely connecting the two together,Thank God there are still dedicated
Amigans to help us out.Len.
