Printer Driver for TOS, MagiC & MiNT Developed by Claude Labelle - Licensed under GPL This driver intercepts the parallel port while a USB printer is connected. Applications can print normally, with or without a GDOS (NVDI 5 tested). Always send a form feed if the application have that option. A printer with PCL5 (monochrome) or PCL5c (for color) emulation is recommended. PCL5e (monochrome) should work. For a color printer, in NVDI, select printer "HP Deskjet 1200C" and set it to 8-color. For a monochrome printer, or to print black only in 600 dpi on a color printer, select "HP Laserjet 6L". In ImageCopy, select "BIOS" for output and "CMY colour" for color or "monochrome" for monochrome. Color printing may not work correctly on all PCL5c printers, using the NVDI driver. It did not on HP Color LaserJet CP2025 while it worked fine on Xerox Phaser 6022. And it doesn't output black in 16M color mode. The speed should be about the same than a parallel printer or faster due to a faster printer. PDF and JPG files can be printed by dropping them on the desktop printer icon (TOS and MiNT), for printers that have the capability to internally process such files. It is recommended to increase the job timeout to one minute, if that option is available on your printer. This is in case the processing of a page takes a long time on the computer. This driver is to be considered a beta version. It has been tested on TOS, MagiC and MiNT, on TT, Falcon 030, Falcon CT63. It should work on ST. The only problem found was on Falcon CT63, for one user, Papyrus under TOS had problems, while for another, it was fine but it had problems under MagiC.
