Is there a printer driver available for macintosh mode (spectre GCR) that
will support a star NX-1000 printer (epson fx-80 compat)? There only seems
to be imagewriter support. Is there a pd driver on any mac boards? Is this
|a mac question? I think it should be an atari question because it deals
with spectre and atari architecture. Has anybody else done this? It would
seem to be a common ocurrance.
thanx,
steve selick

I know it supports several laser printers; it might support the old Epson standard as well. $99 retail, and worth it. BTW, if you're not too badly stung by the pcditto episode, there are other PC emulators for the ST. Ask your local Atari dealer or user's group about them.

Not sure why. Anyway... I have MacPrint, and yes it is a very good software package, but it does not support Epson printers. It only handles HP-PCL printers.
