I recently purchased a STAR-NL10 dot matrix printer for my Amiga 500, but my Workbench diskette (V1.2) does not include the appropriate driver for this printer, so that I can not use the printer escape codes. Could someone tell me where I can find the driver for this printer, or if you own it send a copy on the net. Thanks in advance. Patrick Hens.

"Epson"-driver will do fine. I use Workbench 1.3 "EpsonX" with my Star LC-10 and everything works fine. Sami K|ykk{ koykka@utacs.uta.fi

Thanks to those of you who sent me hints on the usage of the STAR NL-10 printer. But, my problems are not solved yet. Most of you adviced me to try different Epson drivers. And indeed, I can do graphic screen dumps with them and print standard files. But my problem is the usage of the printer escape codes: an example: when I use the command LPRINT CHR$(27);"4" in AmigaBasic my printer should be set up for italic characters as described in the 'Parallel Interface Cartridge For NL-10'-manual. Now, the Epson drivers do not translate these codes correctly for the STAR NL-10 so that it does not react at all or unpredictably. So what I need is a driver that translates these codes correctly, or a translated code table. Can someone help me out? Thanks in advance. Patrick Hens
