A friend of mine had a problem with his printer with his amiga 1000.

He has a panasonic 1080i printer.

He took his computer and printer  to a local shop which didn't fix the problem
but still charged $135.00 for the repair.  The shop's excuse?
 " the 8520 chip was blown by the printer cable being the wrong type"

Anyway, He took the computer and printer over to a electronic repair
friend of his.  the problem?  The "hex-inverter" chip ($0.69) was
bad.  After it was replaced, (a 15 minute job) no more problems...

Hope that helps.
