Hello….
I'm considering buying a Canon BJ-5 printer which can emulate an
Epson printer. Can anyone tell me what I need to connect it to my
Amiga A500 (UK) computer or a potential Amiga A1200, in terms of
leads and printer drivers ?
I'd look up this info in the tech. manuals but my Amiga is 6000 miles
away from me at the moment, so it's a little tricky…
Please help me, you're my only hope…. <g>

You should use the EpsonQ driver, I believe that is what the te
Canon emulates, and any standard 25-pin to Centronics cable should
work. Also check out the libraries, I believe there are quite a few
good Canon-specific drivers for the Amiga here.
No problem, use a normal Centronics cable to connect the BJ5 to the
Amiga and download the CanonDisk V2 from the AmigaUser library here
on CIS. The CanonDisk offers a powerfull Canon driver (do NOT use
EpsonQ!).
