Amiga 500 & DeskJet 500
5 messages in this thread
Does anyone know how to get a printer-driver for Amiga 500 and a HP DeskJet
500/550 C?
I'm only a PC-User and so I don't know how to handle a Amiga 500
my son got on Xmas his Amiga – and now he will use my HP Deskjet 500.
Printer-Driver I got with the DeskJet are only for PC.
Thanks for help.
I think you will find a driver for the HP 500/500 C in our libraries.
Look in AmigaUser, Library 10, Printer Drivers. If your son is using
OS2.1 or later, or if he has the program called CrossDOS, then you can
just download it to a 720K MSDOS disk and he can read it in his Amiga
drive. If he doesn't have either of those, you might have to send it over
via null modem cable – but it can be done, one way or the other.

Kurt,
according to your CIS Id you're from Europe. In this case you can get
Amiga drivers from HP's Fulfillment House. The package is called
Studio-Light and it's actually a cut-down version of the commercial Studio
package. (oh, to save time: the document number in Germany for the order
form is 31501)
Here's the info from HP:
Studio-Light is available through the HP Fulfillment House.
Orderforms can be obtained through HP FIRST (Fax Information

Kurt,
There should be a driver available off the printer preferences
selection on the system diskettes.
Dr. Gerald Hull also sells the Super_DJC driver through his company at
the following address:
Creative Focus
Box 580
Chenango Bridge, New York 13745-0580
I am currently using Dr. Hull's driver on the Amiga and Korenthal
Associates, Inc. products on my 386 bridgeboard (BB). Korenthal is in
Section 3 of PCVENB forum and at the following address:
Korenthal Associates, Inc.
511 Avenue of the Americas #400
New York, New York 10011
212-242-1790
Hope this helps!

Kurt,
An HP DeskJet printer driver is included with the Amiga's Workbench (there
is to my knowledge no special DeskJet 500 driver). There are commercial
driver packages available, for example the "Studio" package from a German
programmer which is (at least in Germany) also available in a cut-down
"light" version from Hewlett Packard directly.
