198.0. "HELP, need Epstart" by BERN01::RUGGIERO () Tue Aug 16 1988 07:31

    It seems that one must have Epstart for printing with an Epson from
    a MacEmulator (MacigSack does not have any default printing cap,
    Aladin only supports Epson 9 pin printers).
    
    My problem: Aladin with Epson LQ500 24 pin letterquality printer.
    
    And my local Apple dealer says that Epstart is not sold any more
    but I should buy a hardware grappler for 480 Swiss Francs!!!!!
    
    I think there are alot of people with MagicSack: can you give me
    information about
    
    - does Epstart work with Epson LQ printers? (LQ500 is the little
      compatible brother of the LQ1500) Any restrictions?
    
    - Where can I get Epstart from? If not on sale anymore can someone
      make a copy available? (On the net or by private exchange of disk)
    
    Please help me, I want to print!!!!
    
    regards

198.1I use it. It will work.BENTLY::MESSENGERIntrusion Countermeasures ElectronicsTue Aug 16 1988 16:239
    I use Epstart with Magic Sac. As a matter of fact the company that
    makes it releases it in Magic Sac format as well as Mac format.
    
    Yes, it will work with your 24-pin Epson printer (I have a 24-pin
    Epson clone [ALPS ALQ-224]).
    
    It is not my understanding that the company is defunct. I will,
    however, try to find this out for you.
