- A friend of mine recently bought a Mac 512k for word processing and playing
- Tetris. She also bought an AEG Olympia NP30 printer (an Imagewriter clone).
- We can't get the damn thing to print her MacWrite files. What I see as the
- problem is that the AEG Manual asks for an 8-pin circular connector to the
- Macintosh (which is available on the plus) while the 512k has the 9 pin
- rectangular connector. The printer seems to be working fine (i.e. the self-
- test went smoothly), and there are no error messages during printing (the
- computer acts as if the printing has taken place, when it HASN'T!).
-
- Help!
-
- Thanks a bunch.
