I had the CP80 (=BMC80) a few years ago and couldn't get this thing
to print out graphics either.
After months of reading books ans mags I found two hints. The one
was a change to the printer driver of Wordplus, which made the
printer print out graphics from Wordplus, the other one was a patch
to the hardcopy routine. With the last I was able to print at least
screen hardcopies (although circles looked like eggs...). I don't
know if I still have the patch and the driver since I use a NEC
P6 meanwhile. I'll take a look at home and if I find them I let
you know. I hope the CP80 is something similar to the CPA80+

I know it's little chance that you still have the floppy-TOS 1.0,
but try this: (as I said, this patch is quite some time old and
was for TOS 1.0 on Floppy. If you got a documented BIOS-Listing
you could rewrite it for EPROMS, you need the addresses of the
printer control tables)
poke &h16D76,&h3315 !Linefeed to 15/216''
poke &h16D72,&h4CFF !Bitmap normal size
poke &h16D6E,&h4CFF !Bitmap small
poke &h88D4,0 !Switch off Linefeed
poke &h8924,0 !Switch off Linefeed
this patch worked with my CP80 just fine. If I got a bit spare time
today I upload two Wordplus printer drivers for the BMC BX80 (which
is the same as CP80) to
MUNEDI::USER$DISK2:[FALKENSTEIN.ATARI]*.HEX
they do all special characters in graphics mode and all text attributes
besides Italic. Aditional they enable you to print out Wordplus
graphics just ok. At last tomorrow they will be in that directory.
Hope I could help you a bit, I do no more own the manual, sorry.
