Perhaps the sidecar which you have works perfectly with a printer attached to the Amiga parallel port but mine certainly does not. Do you have the Canadian or American version Frank. I have tried entering lpt1 as the device name. I have tried opening the lpt1 icon before, after, and during attempts to print. The print command does not work. There is an error message which indicates the 'device maybe off line' which my printer is not. I have an Epson MX-80. I have no problem using the same printer from the Amiga side. I am still open to suggestions if anyone has any. Thanks.
