#IBM5152 – printer driver
3 messages in this thread
HI, can anyone help? I have a friend with an A600 , and an IBM 5152 printer.
The goal is to get the them to work together. I have searched in vain for a
suitable driver specifically for the 5152, but perhaps there is another way….
I notice that in the A600 handbook it mentions a driver CBM_MPS1000 'can also
be used with the IBM 5152 compatable printers'. Unfortunatley the printer was
aquired without a book, so we do not know what other printers it can emulate.
Can anybody help with a) information on the printer – what it can emulate
or b) a suitable driver fot the A600
Many thanks in anticipation.

When all else fails, try Epson! Actually, Epson is the most common printer
driver for dot matrix printers. So I would suggest trying all the epson
drivers, probably EpsonX or EpsonXOld or something like that. Hope this
helps…
Trevor,
The CBM_MPS1000 printer driver should work with your friend's IBM 5152 printer.
I used a Commodore MPS-1000 printer for years, and it emulates the IBM 5152
printer. The MPS-1000 printer driver should be on the Workbench disks under
Devs/Printers. I'm not familiar with the A600, as I use an A500 running OS
2.04, but I imagine you should be able to get your hands on it, if it's not on
the A600 Workbench disks.
Hope this helps.
