[comp.sys.amiga.misc] Printer Problem

boblu@tekgen.BV.TEK.COM (Robert Luneski) (05/16/91)

I just picked up an old Epson MX-80 printer to dedicate to label printing.
I hooked it up and get nothing but garbage when I try to print anything.
I have tried all the Epson preferences drivers as well as "generic" with no
luck.  Does anyone have any suggestions on what the problem might be or
what I need to do to get that printer to work on the Amiga?

Thanks,

	Does the printer perform self test mode (ONLINE and LINEFEED keys
depressed at power up) ?
