Printer driver C= MPS1200P - WB 3.0->

Ok, so i have a dot matrix printer .... so what

No seriously, i have bought a A500 today with tons of hardware. And a printer was in the deal. Problem is that the driverdisk for the printer is gone. I have tested with generic and MPS1000 with no results.
Maybe i did something wrong when i installed this printer.

1. Connect parallell cable from printer to parallell port on amiga
2. Plug in the powercord.
3. put in a blank A4 paper
4. power up the printer
5. power up the A1200 (the printer make som noise when a1200 boots up.)
6. Check Devs for driver, generic was there.....took the MPS1000 from storage and put it in there aswell.
7. Reboot and tried to print.... nothing happend.

So, the printer driver maybe must be the exactly for this printer, huh?

Pls

me....

Most dot matrix printers - come to that nearly all printers - have a self test routine that will print out something so you can see if it's working

Have you tried that?

Sure, i found the problem. I was set to Epson on the dip switch.
Now all is good, and i print with the MPS1000 driver.
Problem remains with the Swedish character ÅÄÖ. But i have read that a program in written in BASIC will do the job for the printer.

Anyway....the printer works and the ribbon is OK.

@davideo, thanks man.
