Install Printer V1.00
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The purpose of this disk is to take the pain out of setting up printer
drivers on the Amiga.
The script was written by Nick Lines, the Canon and Star printer drivers are
by Wolf Faust and the Panasonic and Hewlett Packard drivers are by unknown
authors.
Instructions
~~~~~~~~~~~~
To run, simply double click on the Install-Printer icon after booting from
the disk which you want to install the printer drivers on (eg Workbench or
Hard Disk, PenPal, Dpaint, etc) and follow the on-screen prompts.
You will need some free space on the disk you boot from. To do this, decide
on something that you don't need on the disk and delete it! The drivers
themselves are small (between 10-20k), but the Canon drivers come complete
with full documentation and preference programs, should you be using
workbench 2 or greater. For these you will need up to 50K free.
That's really all there is to say about this disk. Individual driver
documentation can be found and read in the DOCS drawer on this disk. I hope
that this makes things easier to use for people.
When reading documentation, the Canon BJ10, 10ex, 20 and 200 documents are
all the same, called BJ10.readme
After running the installer, please do not forget to set the printer type
in preferences. This means that you have to highlight your printer in the
list given to you upon entering the printer section of preferences. For
different printers this will be:
Star 9 pin - Star9Plus
Star 24 pin - Star24Plus
Star SJ48 - CanonBJ10 (!)
Panasonic 9 - EpsonX
Panasonic 24- EpsonQ
CanonBJ10ex - CanonBJ10
CanonBJ20 - CanonBJ10
CanonBJ200 - CanonBJ10
CanonBJ300 - CanonBJ300
For Citizen printers, please run the install program on the Citizen print
manager. If you are using an A1200 this doesn't work, so run my install
program and tell it you are using a Panasonic with the same amount of pins.
Thanks to:

Wolf Faust for his excellent drivers, all the internetters who use the Amiga
echo at wunet.wustl.edu who helped cull all the drivers together and Lyndsy
for not screaming too much when I mentioned that the reason that I hadn't
written was because of this disk (ooops).
Commodore for the Amiga and the excellent installer scripting language.
And Errol at EMComputergraphic for helping out with an OpalVision problem
and finally explaining font formats to me!
