A friend of mine just recently purchased the Primera printer for use with her A3000. She hooked it up to the parallel port, installed the printer driver using the supplied software, and then then tried to print. Nothing. The printer shows no sign of life. I had her copy a text file to both prt: and par:, but nothing happened. Interestingly, when I try that at home on my 4000 with no printer attached, the copy to the par: hangs the shell, and when I try copying to prt: after that it says the device is busy. She's getting neither error, which makes me think that the Amiga is happily outputting something to the par which is not being recognized by the Primera. Is there something else she has to do to enable the printer for the amiga? (The manual for the amiga is apparently comprised of a readme). My experience with printers is that when I reboot the machine, the printer reacts somehow. Not so with the Primera. Any ideas out there? Rusty Williams
