- The printer may have one of the fancier parallel ports which can
- communicate back with the computer. Check the manual for setting this to
- standard parallel. Also check the pin connections for the port and make
- sure any voltages supplied by the Amiga are disconnected in the cable or
- go to a unused pin. Oh, and make sure you have a normal parallel cable
- and not one of those Bi-tronics ones.
