[comp.sys.amiga] Need help printing music with DMCS, NEC-P6 and Amigados 1.3

lamb@thumper.bellcore.com (John W. Lamb) (11/17/88)

Since upgrading to Amigados 1.3, Deluxe Music Construction Set no
longer prints my scores.  With 1.2 I used the epson printer driver
to print legible, if somewhat grainy, scores.  With 1.3, I tried
using both the Nec_pinwriter and EpsonQ printer drivers to no
avail.  Deluxe Paint works fine with the NEC_pinwriter driver, so I
don't think I have a hardware problem.

Using the hex dump mode of the printer I found out that initialization
strings are being sent to the NEC-P6, but nothing else.  DMCS seems
to think it is printing the score, based on the dialog boxes it
puts up, but nothing makes it out to the printer.

I am using an unmodified Amiga 100 with 512K of memory.  DMCS reports
about 115K of that available before printing.  The printer switches
are set to the factory defaults.

If anyone has been successful in printing from DMCS to a P6 at a
density of 180 X 180 dpi or higher, I would greatly appreciate some
mail explaining how you did it.

Thanks in advance,
