[comp.sys.atari.8bit] Atari to NEC SilentWriter LC-800

wrd@tekigm2.MEN.TEK.COM (Bill Dippert) (04/08/89)

Help!  Am trying to use one of my spare Atari's to download files and print
them out on a NEC SilentWriter LC-800 laser printer at work.  However, none of
the standard Atariwriter+ drivers seems to work -- I say seem to, as I have
only tried what I thought were logical ones.  There is a method of developing
your own drivers, but it requires that you know the decimal codes for various
items, such as line feeds, etc.  I cannot find any of this information in the
user book that came with the printer.  Am trying to use it in the parallel
mode, of course.  Can anyone help that may be using a similar setup.  

(While, it probably is moot, the exact setup is a 800XLE (256k upgrade in 130XE
mode, 1050  disk drive, Axiom AT-846 parallel printer interface and centronics
parallel cable to parallel port of the NEC.)

Thanks in advance,

--Bill--
