[comp.sys.amiga] QuadJet/Canon PJ 1080a

pricked@vax1.acs.udel.EDU (zeeb) (11/15/88)

Hello!

This is my first posting to comp.sys.amiga, so please bear with me.  I'm looking
for a printer driver for a QuadJet color inkjet printer. I have a Canon PJ-1080a
color inkjet printer and, since the two printers look the same, I thought that 
I could just the printer driver for the Canon with the QuadJet.  No dice.  Also,
does anyone know where a reliable source of ink cartridges (both black and 
color) can be found?

Thanks in advance...

response.

	On the official V1.3 Extras disk in 'devs/printers' there is a
printer.driver called 'Quadram_QuadJet' which should driver your
printer.  BTW, there is also one called the 'Canon_PJ-1080A' which IS
slightly different.

You should be able to buy the supplies you want from Radio Shack. I have a
CGP-220 which isalso supposed to the the same printer, and the Cannon Driver
does NOT work on it either!. Maybe the CGP-220 driver will. Its on
Compuserve's Amigaforum or from the CA-AUG BBS at (216) 581-2284.  Good luck. 
Mail me if you have success.
