RetroPrinter Support

Thank you. I will ask the Next team regarding RS232 communication. I know you can send plain text via Wi-Fi to a printer in NEXT mode, but suspect the commands to so this are not available when you are in the QL core. (Someone is also writing a print server for the NEXT) I am new to the QL world ...

I am at the very early stages of learning about the Sinclair QL via the Spectrum Next QL core. I am wondering if there is anyway (not neccesarily the RetroPrinter) of getting a file from Quill or other QL applications on to a Windows PC and printing it? Or any other solution?

Hi everyone

I have used the (centronics) RetroPrinter very successfully over the last few years on a range of vintage machines, as you will have seen from my previous posts overtime. It's credit to the device and the creator that I can do so without having much technical knowledge.

Not being ...

On the video link at the end of this page, the set up I am running the Artist II in is a ZX Spectrum Next KS1 in Spectrum 48k personality with Kempston Mouse and Multiface 1 options available. Plugged in to the Next's expansion port is an LPRINT III Centronics interface (actually a modern clone ...

Hi I just want to be 100 % sure that, as well as deleting unwanted .pdf files to tidy things up, I can also delete all of the .raw and .ecs files I don't want to keep on the retro printer (SD card) I assume these are simply files outputted by the RetroPrinter rather than anything required to run the ...

Using raspi-config is very simple. Even though the console menu I see is different to the one on the Adafruit link, its obvious you need to select system settings, where the wi-fi SSID and passphrase questions are. (Is ...

Hi. I just had my broadband upgraded to fibre and have new router. So I now need to update my Wi=Fi settings on the RetroPrinter with new SSID and password. At first I tried accessing the RetroPrinter via my PC browser using the IP address, but when this failed, it occurred to me that I can't ...

Great conclusion :-) :-)

Advanced Art Studio's default printer control settings for an MX-80 are automatically set, if you just enter pass the installation questions without keying in anything. The only other things to do in the installation load is select the drawing interface you are going to ...

The very good thing is that, for whatever reason, the 1 x 1 single denisty dump with the 24 epson pin setting on the RetroPrinter seems to print out a perfect circle when you draw one on the Art Studio screen using the default settings, so the representation looks very accurate - to me it looks ...

I've gone back to 9 pins setting in the RetroPrinter and the print outs look very similar to the 24 Pin ones. Single Density dumps are still pretty much in the correct proportions. Dual Density dumps are still notably narrowed i.e. the width is shorter than it should be in proportion to height, so ...
