John,
It may have something to do with the pinouts of the parallel port. See
what pin #14 on the Okimate is hooked to. If you're using an IBM parallel
cable…this pin is hooked to pin #14 of the Amiga parallel port which has +5v
on it. IBM printers (and compatibles) use this for AutoLineFeed but your Oki
may use it for something else and that could be your problem.
However, if it works with the A1000 WB and not with the A2000 WB disk,
then that's not the problem…so the only thing left is the file
parallel.device which is called by the printer.device. Try moving that also.
If that doesn't do it…I don't know what else to try.
Don
