I have a star nx-1000 rainbow printer. I have been told that the driver I should use with this is the epsonx[cbm_mps-1250], but I find that I cannot get double-struck (bold) characters with it. Is there a driver specificly for this printer and if so could someone email me a copy or let me know where I can get a copy via ftp? Thanks, Mark Williams msw@mplvax.sri.com

I have a Star NX-1000 Rainbow printer, and I have noticed this problem with the suggested driver also. Bold characters work fine in DRAFT mode, but they are nonexistent in NLQ mode. I had thought this was a problem with Prowrite or a limitation of the printer, but looking at the manual's sample text, it does show BOLD NLQ text. So, I am also interested if anyone knows of a better driver for the NX-1000 rainbow. Perhaps someone at Commodore-Amiga knows of one? Any help appreciated...email is fine if you can swing it. # Baird McIntosh "...Why do people choose to live their lives...this way?" # # INTERNET: c503719@umcvmb.missouri.edu <-or-> BITNET: c503719@umcvmb.bitnet #

I use the EpsonX[cbm_mps-1250] driver, and I cannot get bold print in NLQ mode, either. I have tried printing direct to the PAR: device, as well as using the panel modes on the printer. This avoids the Amiga printer codes and print driver alltogether. However, I still cannot get boldface print while in NLQ mode, so it appears the printer is incapable of it. It does work in draft mode.
