I can only suggest what are perhaps the obvious things--you are creating a new
bootable disk with the appropriate device driver and descriptor for the printer,
right?  Also, you should check with the manufacturer of the controller that it
will work with the CoCo 3, asking specifically about the parallel port.  There
may be some problem with the memory-mapped I/O address used for the parallel
port.
