Hi, I was wondering if anyone out there has hacked together a printer driver for the Epson LX-80 out there. I'm getting a NeXTstation, and, being a student, can't afford the Laser printer. I have, however, an Epson LX-80 printer that I use currently. The cable (centronics DB-25 to DB-9) shouldn't be a problem (a straight hardware hack) but I've no experiance at all with printer drivers. Has anybody connected their dot-matrix printer to a NeXT? Thanks! -Scott Hofmann hofmann@sumter.cso.uiuc.edu (NeXT)

We have dozens of EPSON printers here, but they all have parallel interfaces. This makes them USELESS for direct connection to a NeXT, so I haven't put in the effort (not that it would be much effort). There's a simple explanation why I did an ImageWriter driver instead: I could. -=EPS=-
