Calab Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) I just received a MicroPrint parallel printer interface made by Supra Corp. This was a new in package item. I've connected it to my Atari 1200XL and to my Epson MX-80 printer. When I issue LPRINT commands the Atari acts as if all went well, but nothing happens at the printer. The printer is online and does have paper. I am able to print without issues from my Apple IIgs and my C64. The 1200XL does have a U1MB installed, but disabling high speed I/O doesn't seem to make any difference. I own a FujiNet but it is not connected at the moment. I have also done the 5v SIO fix on my 1200XL. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could resolve this problem?

Calab Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 Problem fixed... Was a loose connection at the switchbox, or a dirty switch contact. All is good now! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) Hi Guys, I bought Microprint some time ago and now have obtained nice Star LC-10 printer as well ? As I'm completely new in subject of printing on the Atari, could anyone please have some advice on: 1) LC-10 DIP-switches setting against Atari with Microprint (A4 paper format)? 2) preferable Atari printing software for above duo, both for text and maybe graphics, too? Thanks in advance for some hints! Edited November 5, 2021 by Jacques Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
