To sysop I still use my Amiga-2000 with Wb-1.3 and just bought a stylus-800+ printer, not knowing there are no drivers for it! The manual says to use sq870/1170, lq870/1170, lq570/1070, lq100 drivers as alternatives to the stylus800+ driver. I've downloaded an AmigaDOS-bin driver from the library but it does nothing. Where can I find any of the above drivers? Any help will be sincerely appreciated. Thanks,

Was the driver You downloaded the file STYLUS.LHA from Sec. 12? This works fine with my Stylus Color, it is a Stylus 800 Driver. I only tested this one to see how fast it is since I use Studio II which gives You a great output. However if the driver does not work You made sth. wrong in the printerpreferences. Maybe You selected the wrong driver. Or the driver is not 1.3 compatible (there is no docfile which lists the requirements). cya Jochen Antesberger from Neuburg a.d.

Hmm, if you can't live with the PD Stylus driver… I haven't seen any other ESC/P2 PD driver and you have to start looking for a commercial driver. Good drivers for the Stylus 800+ or the printer emulations you listed are available to KS 2.04 (and higher) users only (try "CAN300.LZH" if you got KS2.04). — Wolf Faust, Am Dorfgarten 10, 60435 Frankfurt, Germany —
