I'm having problems getting a Canon PJ-1080A colour printer to work on my
B2000. I've set the dip switches according to the printer drivers setup in my
AmigaDos 1.3 manual, but the printer just hangs and I get a printer error.
Swapping out the printer cable had no effect, and the printer works just
fine on an MS-DOS type machine. My current printer (Star NX1000) works on my
system without a hitch...........any ideas?

You probably only have one of them connected. -- Blaine Gardner @ Evans & Sutherland 580 Arapeen Drive, SLC, Utah 84108 blgardne@javelin.sim.es.com or blgardne%javelin@dsd.es.com ...dsd.es.com!javelin!blgardne or {decwrl, utah-cs}!esunix!blgardne DoD #0046 My other motorcycle is a Quadracer.
