Brian: You did not mention which OS version your friend's Amiga has… I am familiar with 2.0+, so what I indicate may not be useful under 1.3. The printer driver is selected using the Printer Prefs program in the Prefs drawer. The location for the drivers is Sys:Devs/Printers. An HP Deskjet driver came with the OS in 2.0… if it is not there, then try to look for one on the "Extras" floppy on the original system disks. If that fails, there are a couple of commerical HP drivers available from Amiga mail-order places, OR you can try (if your friend's Amiga can get on CIS and download, or if you have one) a file here on CIS: HPDJ55.LHA, Library 12, which is written for the 550 & 540 printers, but should work OK for 660. Let me know if any of my info helped out! — Dave

Brian, She almost certainly has other printer drivers available. If she is using the older OS1.3, she should just call up PREFS, Printers, and go through the list. There will be at least one HP driver there – maybe not the one she needs, but it should work reasonably well. With OS2.04 or later, she should look in Extras:Devs/Printers (I think that was the name – a disk that came with the OS) for a list. When she find the one she wants, it should be copied to her Workbench Devs/Printers directory – and that can probably be installed by just dragging it with the mouse. If she does not find a driver there – or if you find it easier to just download one – we have a whole library of printer drivers here in AmigaUser. I know that there are several for HP printers, possibly for the 660c itself. Try looking through that library with a Key of either 660c or HP. If you don't find one, let me know and I'll see what I can find. Good luck! —Betty
