How does one utilise a modern inkjet USB port printer with a desktop A1200?

Itried using a modern inkjet, but unfortunately it neded the PC processor to do anything... I am sure some work though... HP Deskjet 600 series have drivers on Aminet I think

Turboprint probably has the best support for USB printers:

Worth buying as it still receives periodic updates and does a much better job than most of the printer drivers that come with Workbench.

E3B (makers of the Subway, Algor etc. USB cards) recommends using Turboprint and give a short list of USB printers tested with their USB cards and Poseidon stack:

Like DDNI said, you can have a poke around Aminet for free drivers. Typing in "USB" and "printer" doesn't bring up any results in a search, but you might have to look at the readme or doc files of the printer driver archives to see what (if any) USB models are supported.
