Can't print with Amiga Forever 7
I did a complete install of AF 7 Premium off the CD into the default directories. Right after the installation finished I did the following:
-Made sure my printer was selected in Tools/Options/Emulation. -Right clicked to Edit the Workbench 3.X system setup to make sure the parallel device was set to EpsonQ emulation. -Right clicked to play Workbench 3.x. -In the Amiga emulation, checked Devs to make sure the EpsonQ printer was there, and Prefs/Printer to make sure it was the selected printer. -Opened TurboText, typed a sentence and right-selected Project/Print. -Got back a message that says "Printer Trouble, Check printer and paper" (there is no problem with the physical printer). -Click Cancel to get the message "Print error, Error 1". Has anyone else had success using the EpsonQ or PostScript emulated printers? Thanks. |

Since there have been no replies to this thread, I am assuming that no one has been able to print using AF 7.
After some more experimentation, I believe the problem is that AF 7 is not configuring WinUAE correctly. I verified this by first playing an Amiga system setup directly using AF 7, and observing that printing failed as before. I then selected Tools/Options/Emulation/Plugins/Launch from menu, fired up WinUAE directly using Tools/Launch Plugin/WinUAE, and configured the WinUAE emulation with the same parameters that I had used in AF 7 (particularly the Epson printer emulation). I then ran the system under WinUAE, and printing from the emulated Amiga worked as I had expected it to. I hope that Cloanto fixes this in a patch soon. I would prefer not to have to mess around with WinUAE after buying AF. |
