Printers for the Amiga

Does anybody know of any printers that will work on the Amiga. Most printers nowadays are GDI compliant Thanks.

Have a look at this page to get some idea of the range of printers for which drivers are available:

the best printers that can be used on the amiga are the epson photo 1270 or 1290...they can be used using turboprint
of course they are not available anymore since long time ago....only by second hand you can purchase one and it is a very difficult find because they were expensive at the time

on the other way the best way to go on the amiga to print is turboprint...drivers for workbench are very weak

I found that brother laser printers work, but not all of them. For example the Brother 2040 and 2140 will not work, but the brother 2170 nd 2070 do with turboprint with ther laserjet. the hp officejet 8500 will work with turboprint and hp photosmart 7500 driver. It is only usb though
