Printer driver installation
Just popping in

Good evening everybody!

I'm an old Amiga hand who just got his paws on an AmigaOne 500 (ok, ok, so it's a Sam460ex board with parts from MicroCenter, self-assembled) with one teeny question.

I was able to get everything installed software-wise, except one thing. I have an GHP OfficeJet 8610 that I just bought, specifically FOR the Amiga, and I have downloaded both the HP photoSmart driver and the NetPrinter driver. I'e even installed the PhotoSmart driver from its installation procedure. My question is, simply, now what?

By that I mean, when I go to Preferences the driver isn't there, and when I navigate to the device file, I can't seem to select anything.

Any ideas would be most helpful. I will be putting the Amiga aside for now, as I have to study for a certification exam later this month. And probably October as well.

Thanks guys!!

Stan :)

copy the PHOTOSMART into 'SYS:DEVS/Printers', then when you launch Prefs. Printer you should have a new entry called PHOTOSMART

You must choose DEVICE (lpr.device, usbprinter.device, usbdot4.device) depending of how you attach printer to sam460.

I have/use and old HPLaserjet 2300n, plugged to my router and use lpr.device and PostScript (or HPLaserjet4) driver. I need to create a plain text file in ENVARC: called lpr.device with my printer IP (see below), and works fine.

#type ENVARC:lpr.device
HOST=192.168.1.230 RAW
