[net.micro.amiga] Epson Jx80 problems

dave@uwmcsd1.UUCP (Dave Rasmussen) (02/18/86)

I recently purchased an Epson JX80 and a Desselhaus Computer Products
"Finger Print LetterWriter", which is just a set of roms to give the
Jx80 more fonts, including a nlq font.

It seems to work just fine with pictures from Graphicraft, but if I
try to 'copy foo.c to prt:', it goes along for what seem to be random
ammounts of time and the sucker goes 'beep beep beep <pause> beep beep
beep' and dies temporarily, the Amiga menu comes up saying "Check printer
cable - cancel/resume".

Dresselhaus claims the new roms are transparent to native epson functions.
I have my doubts, and I suppose will go back to the old ones. Anyone else
had any success/headaches with this stuff?  When am I gonna learn not to
mail order this kind of stuff?

Grumble grumble.
