    I have a PJ-1080A myself, and although I probably am not the first to
reply thusly, here goes:

    Uh, it's on Workbench 1.3, Dude! I believe it should be on the amiga
extras disk that comes with 1.3. I think it was on 1.2 as well. If you don't
have either of these (although it seems you must) I have sevaral different
copies, and we can arrange to get you one.

    By the way, it is a very nice printer. I have seen a HP PaintJet in
action, and it is even nicer (but rather expensive I understand) The Canon is
superior to a dot matrix for any kind of graphics color or B/W and WSIWYG
text, but is almost useless for normal text (no descenders!!).
