I don't have their address with me, but they advertise in AmigaWorld just about every month. Also, make sure your preferences are set up correctly. Just choosing the Imagewriter II printer driver won't cut it. Make sure you specify a SERIAL printer and go into "change serial" to match the baud rate and flow control protocol with those selected by the Imagewriter II DIP switches. -- Daniel A.

I use an ImageWriterII with an Amiga for now 2 years. The connection is very easy to make: just use 3 wires (Txd Rxd Gnd) and use the Xon/Xoff protocol on both the ImageWriter and the Amiga. From the hardware point of view, everything's ok. But there are problems with the driver, especially when it has to print graphics (ProWrite with some fonts, Pagesetter). It sometimes push the paper backwards. Does any AmigaGuru of CATS know why ? Jean-Marc Alliot
