Yes and no. Yes, we can use standard printercables, but to be safe you
have to cut pin 14 on the 25 pin sub D connector to prevent trouble on
the Amiga. This is an old remedy and it works, but after that some
printers could give some trouble when used on a PC with that modified
cable though. When connecting my Epson Stylus Color 600 on my
notebook, the ink-interrogation did not work... it printed however well.
