1302.0. "NEC P2200" by GILBRT::BEAUREGARD (Roger Beauregard SHR1-3) Tue Apr 05 1988 12:33

    I just purchased a NEC P2200 24 pin printer. I am wondering if anyone
    has seen, in net land, any of the following printer drivers. If
    so, could they be uploaded to VMS so I can get a hold of one.
    
    1) NEC P2200
    2) NEC P9XL
    3) NEC P5XL
    4) NEC P7/P6
    5) EPSON LQ-2500
    6) EPSON LQ-800/1000
    7) EPSON LQ-1500
    8) EPSON FX
    9) EPSON MX
    
    my owner's manual suggests using #1 and if unable, use #2 and if
    unable use #3 etc. I am presently using the "EPSON" printer driver.
    
    Also, if I'm not asking for too much, I would like the driver to
    be compatible with the printer drivers in rev. 1.3 of workbench.
    I understand some changes have been made and there is sufficient
    difference between the drivers implemented in 1.2 and 1.3 to make
    them incompatable.
    
    Thank You 
    Roger

    Under 1.3 there will be a printer driver called EpsonQ.  I am using
    it on my NEC P6, and it gives fine results.

Re: .4

I'll bet very small sums that you don't have an official 1.3 release.
In the past Commodore has granted software distributors the right to
ship gamma test versions of AmigaDOS when their products would be
adversely affected by the wait for the real release.

For instance, I got a 1.2 pre-release with a copy of Zing! about three
months before the real release of 1.2.

Still, do you want to share your first hand information of 1.3.
You might want to start a new note on the topic.
