Atari520STFM - Repeated characters

Hi there,
I am having problems with the print outs from my Atari 520STFM using the RetroPrinter. I am using the program '1stWord' and my print outs have repeated characters. I have seen on a previous thread, with respect to the STE and MegaSTE models, to change the printer_delay settings to 50, but ...

Unable to delete PDF files or other files from Retroprinter

Hi there,

I used to be able to delete files from my Retroprinter quite easily, especially the PDF files, to provide more space on my SD card. Up until recently I have been unable to do this. I have changed the settings quite a few times to install different printers etc, could this be the cause ...

Re: Amstrad CPC using the Retroprinter to print directly to a Canon PIXMA MG2100 directly

Hi there,
I've put that text into the SSH client but the driver doesn't show on the list. I do have the CD_ROM for the TS3350.

Could this help ?

Re: Amstrad CPC using the Retroprinter to print directly to a Canon PIXMA MG2100 directly

Hi there,

My Canon printer now works with the computer so many thanks for that.

I have a problem with the wireless printer which is a Canon TS3350 (TS3300 series) which is a new model.
The CUPS console can locate the network printer but when selecting the model in the 'Add Printer' section my ...

Re: Amstrad CPC using the Retroprinter to print directly to a Canon PIXMA MG2100 directly

Hi there,

I did try that but didn't seem to work. Must be due to the Canon being a modern printer.

I also have a modern WI-FI wireless network printer, i.e. one that I can printer from my computer as well as mobile phone. Is there any way of sending the PDF from the Retroprinter to this printer?

Re: Retroprinter for Amstrad CPC 6128 only producing in black and white

Hi there,

Didn't realise that colour wasn't supported. The software I'm using Rainbird's 'Advanced Art Studio' gives a choice of printers Epson and Amstrad DMP-1 but I assumed it supported colour,

Can you recommend any art/drawing programs that would support colour on the Amstrad CPC?
