#EMPLANT MAC PRINTING
6 messages in this thread
Kelly,
Thanks for the info. I started poking around HPP Lib 9 for a driver- haven't
found one yet. I've been told about Power Print 2.5 but $99 seems a bit steep
when I only need one print driver and don't need the cable. Maybe I can
convince Utilities Unlimited to write a driver and sell it for half the price.

What type of printer are you trying to drive? I assume its an HP. Is the
driver for the MAC side? I might be able to help.
I'm trying to print on the Macintosh side using my Okidata OL400 Laser Printer
(it emulates HP Laserjets) through the Amiga's parallel port, since the Emplant
Emulation allows you to assign a Mac port to the Amiga's serial or parallel
port. Any help you might be able to give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,

John,
You will need "PowerPrint" or "MacPrint" (printer drivers) on the MAC
side. Just because you are using the Amiga's parallel port to send info to
your Oki, doesn't mean that Ami will be kind enough to step in translate
the MAC printer data into something your Oki will understand. MACs know
ONLY about MAC and Postscript Printers. To print to an HP printer you need
a third party driver.

Are these commercial? Downloadable? Where? How much?

Jim,
MacPrint (for HP printers only), and PowerPrint (1000 printers supported)
are both commercial products. PowerPrint 2.5 is $98.99. MacPrint is less
if you can find it.
