Re: Another happy RetroPrinter customer


Hi everyone

I'm very happy with my RetroPrinter. I can now use it to print BASIC listing from my BBC Micro (Model B). I'm using RetroPrinter with a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and printing to a Canon MG7550 network printer.

Well done to everyone who's made this possible.

David
