I have a friend who just purchased a C64 the other day and asked me to help
him set it up. He got a disk drive (1541 I think) and the 1546 graphics
printer. The problem we encountered was that when everything was put together
the printer has this light on the front that blinks. When we tried to print
to the printer, nothing happened. Any ideas? Heres the code we used
open 3,4
print #3,"hello there"
resulted in the following printed to the screen
?syntax error
I don't understand why this example didn't work? The printer just sits there.
Also the computer hung up a couple of times and had to be restarted only by
turning it on and off. I do have a VIC-20 and have some idea of how the
cbm machines work, but here I am stumped... Please reply by mail.
Thanks very very much,
Alex Polozoff
