- First of all...thanks to all who replied with information on finding a
- current printer for an old Amiga 500. It was a lot of help. I just have
- a couple of last questions to double check on before we go out and buy
- this thing.
-
- What we're looking at is either the HP Deskjet 600C or 660C. I've checked
- on AmiNet and found drivers for the 500C and 550C, but nothing for the
- 600 series. Does anyone know if these would definitely work? Like I said
- previously, the printer will be used later for a PC, so it just needs to
- provide basic output from the A500 until then. (In other words, we're
- just looking to be able to print out quality text...graphics and color are
- not a must (though admittedly would be nice))...
-
- The only other problem is getting the drivers onto the A500. It doesn't
- have a modem to download them directly. So...is it possible to download
- the drivers off of AmiNet to my PC and then set up a null modem connection
- between the PC and A500 to transfer the driver? And if possible, does the
- A500 have a terminal program already that would allow this without getting
- additional software?
-
- Again, thanks much to everyone who's helped on this...
