It seems to work just fine with pictures from Graphicraft, but if I try to 'copy foo.c to prt:', it goes along for what seem to be random ammounts of time and the sucker goes 'beep beep beep beep beep beep' and dies temporarily, the Amiga menu comes up saying "Check printer cable - cancel/resume". Dresselhaus claims the new roms are transparent to native epson functions. I have my doubts, and I suppose will go back to the old ones. Anyone else had any success/headaches with this stuff? When am I gonna learn not to mail order this kind of stuff? Grumble grumble. -- AT&T: (414) 963-5133 {The views above may or may} `O_o' ARPA: uwmcsd1!dave@wisc-rsch.ARPA {not reflect the views of any} ( ) UUCP: ..!uwvax!uwmacc!uwmcsd1!dave {other person or group at UWM} U Usnail:Dave Rasmussen,UWM CSD, Box413, Milwaukee WI 53201. :-) Ack Phft!
