I cannot get my Amiga 1000 to talk to my Apple Imagewriter II. I bought a specific A1000-->ImagewriterII cable from Redmond cable; but either it doesn't work, or I've done something stupid. Can somebody with the same configuration tell me if I've done anything wrong? I am using a vanilla 1.3 Workbench Disk with the ImagewriterII printer driver installed. THE IMAGEWRITER DIP SWITCHES: They're set up exactly as described for the Imagewriter II in the 1.3 Enchancer manual. I played with DIP 2 switch 3 (XON/XOFF) in both positions, just for fun. No luck. SERIAL PREFERENCES: Baud 9600 Buffer Size 512 Read bits 8 Write bits 8 Stop bits 1 Parity none Handshaking: (I tried all 3. In fact, I tried XON/XOFF with and without the Imagewriter's XON/XOFF DIP switch set.) PRINTER PREFERENCES: Serial printer, driver==ImagewriterII Narrow tractor, fanfold, draft, 12-Elite, 6 LPI, 66 lines, Left==1, Right==80. GRAPHICS 1 Horizontal, Black&White, Positive, Threshold==8. GRAPHICS 2 [Defaults -- didn't change a thing.] WHAT I TRIED: 1> copy myFile.txt PRT: 1> printfiles myFile.txt 1> type > PRT: myFile.txt 1> Printing with FLOW and DPAINT III. WHAT HAPPENED: No response from the printer at all. The printer passes its own self-test.
