Hi,

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
