[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] 1.2 Print driver for 24-pin NEC Pinwriter

m1jcf00@fed.frb.gov (Jeff Fuhrer) (03/19/91)

I have been trying to run a music program (Deluxe Music Construction
Set-DMCS) on my Amiga 1000.  The program runs fine, but I can't print
because (my best guess is) DMCS can't read the 1.3 printer driver for
my NEC P2200XE.  Does anyone know where I can get a 1.2 printer driver
for this printer (or know of any other reason why this program can not
print on my system?  I have already copied the 1.3 driver into my
Workbench:devs/printers directory)?   Thanks!

This is a bit strange. If you have a 1.3 system, you also should use
1.3 printer drivers. I'm not sure whether a mix of 1.2 printer drivers
would at all work under a 1.3 system.

Now if you really want to change to 1.2 printer drivers, there are TWO
things to do:
1. Copy the 1.2 "devs:printer.device" to your Workbench (or DMCS disk)
2. Copy the 1.2 driver "devs:printers/MPS2xxx#?" to your disk

(But deep in my head I remember some other people posting quite different
solutions for this DMCS problem...)
