[comp.sys.amiga.misc] IBM 5152 Printer driver

dingebre@esunix.UUCP (David Ingebretsen) (01/23/91)

   I'm really frustrated. I have an IBM 5152 graphics printer and none
   of the suggested printer drivers work correctly. The 
   CBM-1000 works the best but still has problems. Whenever it
   receives an 'initialize' or 'go to graphics', it prints a 'P', and in 
   graphics mode, it compresses the first line vertically. The rest of
   any graphics output works flawlessly. Printing plain text works
   fine as well except for the annoying 'P' at the top of the output
   (caused by the printer 'initialize' command).

   I've eliminated the following because I can initialize the printer and
   print graphics without a problem from my bridgeboard.

   1. Bad Cable
   2. Bad Printer
   3. Bad parallel port and associated hardware

   I've tried basically every combination that makes any sense for the
   printer preferences, so I've eliminated:

   4. Screwed up preferences


   I think that what I need is a different driver or a way to modify
   the one I have. I've tried PrtDrvGen without success.

   Can anyone out there help me?

   Thanks,
