Hi,
Happy to report that retroprinter 3.2 works like a charm with a Commodore 64 via a serial to centronics adapter - my adapter is a W&T92000 configured to support an epson printer. I've added a little wire to supply the adapter directly from the retroprinter (pin18).
Since the adapter doesn't produce a linefeed (only a carriage return), the retroprinter needs to have autolinefeed enabled (a new feature in 3.2). It then produces perfect text and graphics output: attached is a directory listing (from the command line) and a quick test from The Print Shop.
I'm hoping to try other retro computers soon and will report back on the results...
