#Printer prob.
4 messages in this thread
I am trying to get my amiga to drive an Inagewriter II printer. I have
installed the ImagewriterII driver from the Extras disk (Wor workbench 1.3)
I bought an apple cable for an Apple IIe to ImagewriterII. That cable is
male at one end so I got a gender-bender to plug it into the back of the
amiga I still can't get it to work. I was hoping someone may have done this
before, and you could help me figure out how to get this going….. Thank
you for your help….

David,
This may be silly, but have you selected the proper baud rate in
preferences for the serial port, and selected SERIAL as the interface in
your printer preferences?

Don, Thank you for your reply. I dont have any idea what the baud rate for
this printer is. I did set it up through the serial and not the parrellel
(sp) port. I found out that Redman Cable in Seattle makes the cable I need.
They make special cables for a variety of situations. If you ever need
them, thier Number is (206) 882-2009. I hope this solves my problem.

Dave,
If you don't set the serial rate correctly…nothing will help.
Find a manual, or go to an Apple dealer's and find out what baud rate the
printer runs at….or how to set it to a specific rate. Then set your
serial preferences for the same rate.
