Although we all love our Commodores dearly and have found all sorts of ways to make them do more than anyone ever expected, the sad truth remains that in the "Big World" of high-powered computing these machines are little more than toys. So GEOS isn't a threat to Apple's near stranglehold on the easy-to-use computer market. I'm not sure GEM really is, either. OS/2 might be. Still, I program away, boldly mixing 6502 code with aged Microsoft BASIC...

Hello everybody,
My father and I are looking for a printer driver for
the Star LC 2410 for GEOS (1.3, and 2.0). It has to be a driver
which uses the userport as a standard centronics port. So we
don't want to use an interface/convertor. We bought GEOS 2.0 here
in Holland, but no printerdrivers of this kind were to be found
on the disks. Could someone send me a driver, or tell me how to
make a driver of my own? We are very disappointed that we are
not able to use the superb graphic possibilities of the Star.
Hoping for response,
Ton and Rob van Manen

I would also be interested in a printer driver that runs
centronics parallel out the user port. I could justify buying
GEOS if such a beast exists.
Currently I use OMNIwriter word processor which is nice but
of course there's no graphics.
(BTW, I use a Gemini 10X printer.)
Thanks for any replies.
