- I am considering buying an HP DeskJet 850C colour printer to be used
- with an Amiga and Emplant and am wondering about printer drivers on
- the Amiga side. I know about the Studio II and TurboPrint drivers
- that are available but would also like to know how it would work
- with say Post, the Amiga postscript interpreter, or other older
- DeskJet drivers that are available on the Amiga.
-
- I am looking for any information or experience people have with
- respect to using the HP 850C printer with these older printer
- drivers. For some years I have happily used Post to print postscript
- output, mostly from PageStream, to a DeskJet 500. I would like to
- retain this option to use Post, mostly because of the fonts I seem
- to use and the compatability with output from other postscript
- printers at work.
-
- Will an 850C except the output from say Postlj, and print b&w 300 dpi
- pages correctly? (I think I use Postlj rather than Postdj because I
- found it easier to set the page postioning long ago). Does it print
- ordinary 300 dpi black and white in this situation without any
- problems? This would mean that the new printer is compatible with
- the older printer in some way and at least then older programmes like
- Post could still be used. I would be grateful if anyone could
- experiment with this even just with different Preference printer drivers.
-
- Thanks and cheers, John.
