2816.0. "Help w/ HP ThinkJet" by SMAUG::SPODARYK (Scaring the pedestrians...) Tue Aug 08 1989 20:39

    I have borrowed a HP ThinkJet from a friend, and haven't had any luck
    printing graphics.  I'm using the WB1.3 driver, and text works very
    well.  It does have several DIP switches on the back, but I am without
    documentation and my friend is out of town (that's why I've got it).
    
    Anyone out there using one?  It looks to be a sharp little printer.
    (once I get it working :^)

2816.1BSS::CALLAGHANIf money(TALKS); mine says(GOODBYE)Thu Aug 10 1989 11:4711
    
    	I've been experimenting with an HP_Paintjet printer on a 2000,
    	found it to work well, once I loaded the driver from the extra's
    	disk, using the printer icon in the system directory, and setup
    	the dips.  
    
    	Do you have access to even a Amiga Users book (bookstore, etc..)
    	If you want I can check mine (will have to do it tonite, for
    	the dips)

2816.2Sounds good!SMAUG::SPODARYKScaring the pedestrians...Thu Aug 10 1989 15:116
    I've got all the drivers on my HD, and have selected the proper one
    with preferences, but do need the magical settings for the dips.
    
    Thanks,

2816.3CIA chip might be corrupt. Check as last resort.GIAMEM::I_SHAWI love rainchecks...Thu Aug 10 1989 15:156
	Just remember, if you're getting junk on your printer and you've
checked the dips, the driver and the cable, take it in for a CIA test.
This I/O chip just blew on my 500 (now fixed for $51) and caused great 
stress and anxiety.

2816.4Works quite well! Quick and quiet.SMAUG::SPODARYKSick for toys!Mon Aug 14 1989 14:025
    The required set up for all the printer drivers is included in the
    V1.3 Enhancer Document that comes with the software.  I just had to
    find the doc, and there was the info!
