Modern printers on old Workbench

Stig · 02 May 2005, 12:50

Is anyone doing something to get this going?, this would be basically a matter of drivers and not something directly concerning WinUAE....anyways, just asking if there's a possible fix for this. Despite the fact I always had cutting edge (for the time) Amiga hardware, I never really felt the urge of getting myself a printer as I could use my sister's anytime needed, now I repent.

It's not that I can't save my work and print it from Windows, but it would feel nice doing so from Workbench

Which printers?
TurboPrint works on most modern printers as now most printers expect USB and advanced techniques to get high resolution with 4-6 colours and other high end features which we don`t have access to or will cost a lot to get access.
AOS 3.5 introduced 24 bit colour drivers but still has not supported USB or 6 colour Photo printers. The WB printer.device needs a lot more work on it.
