#Canon Studio Register
4 messages in this thread
What exactly didn't work? Sounds like you do have a problem with your system if
nothing works…
My cannon BJC600 refused to print any color and printed text in a really wierd
format. I finally hooked it back up to the 486. The primera would only print
using diskmaster and then it didn't look very good. Primera sent me thier 4.1
driver for the Amiga so that is all I use now.
I'm basicaly a "new" user of the Amiga as I have only had mine for 2 years. I
found the program extremely hard to figure out and probaly did not have it set
up right. No offense ment as there are quite a few other programs I can't get
to work like they claim.
I also tried studio on my panosonic 1124 and my citizen gsx140. The citizen
seems to work fine.
John,
I can give an unsolicited testimonial to Wolf's drivers. They work fine for my
BJC-600.
However, you have a good point, I think I had to read a lot of documentation
when I first set it up !
Wolf, how about a short "Get me Started" readme for all us dummies out here,
and save the heavy stuff for when we experiment later ?

First to the problems of John:
It pretty much sounds like you are having a serious hardware problem. I assume
you have problems with your printer cable or CIA chips.
Regarding the Canon and Studio manual: I'm always trying to improve the manual
in order to help novice users. But before complaining: give me an exact example
of what you think should be added to the manual. And please, always remember
that what you recomend must be true for all users of your printer and other
printers. That's not easy! And don't forget, writing a manual takes lot's of
time that must be paid for. Writing a manual like the current Studio manual
takes months because of the tech. details included not found anywhere else.
Since V2 and CanonDisk V3.1 we actually use new installing software wich
required 3 months work. The manual now includes examples of how to setup the
drivers for major applications. This seems to have solved most of the pain.
As said, if you have any detailed suggestions, let me know. I really would like
to improve the manual further. But I'm sitting here in the dark and I'm often
suprised about the problems that appear on the user side in the out'er world.
