@328gts

I have a SAM, but havn't downloaded the mentioned update.

Besides there are sold SAM for the Hollywood Dentist channel - don't think they have updated either.

@Troels

It also hit comon.dk - i just tipped them - an the article is now online:

@328gts

First of all we need to identify a printer that for sure is a DOT4 printer. I have a Brother printer I havn't tested yet - I'll try to test it over the weekend.

@alfkil

Welcome may i suggest a game you could create: "Violin hero"

@bitman

I Just tried to connect my HP pcs 2510 - it had the same entry (7,1,2).

BUt why can I print on that printer via USB when I can't print on ther LaserJEt 2600n which also has (7,1,2)?

@Chris

My fault misread your post.

@Chris

From USBstat when connecting HP LaserJet 2600n:

003 free 03f0:2e17 (7,1,2) Hewlett-Packard, HP color LaserJet 2600n

So the LaserJet 2600n seems to be a DOT4 aswell

@rwo

Looks interesting.

@bitman

THe HP PCS 2510 (not a laser-printer) actually printed something (the usb.log content) - but it was only 100 lines of text and nothing happend for 5-10 minutes - printer just said "printing".

But when I closed down the Amiga - the printer actually printed the content?!

The PCS 2510 is a multi-function printer (scanner, fax, printer) -

@bitman

I Checked the "log information" in prefs/usb (was not checked by default), this resulted in what you see below. Actually the pcs 2510 started to drag in paper and tried to print something - but couldn't see teh result due to problems with the toner (old printer) - log;

Nothing really happems to usb.log. Plugged in the LaserJet 2600n and selected the usbprinter.device - no changes to the log. Tried my third printer HP pcs2510 - again, no changes to the log:

@rwo

How do you check if it's a DOT-4 printer? I have a HP and a Brother I could check,.

@Troels

Most laserprinters (color) for the purporse are around ?300 - ?350 in DK.

Brother has a few printers in the range ?85 - ?130 -but I'm not sure if they are DOT4

Buying it second hand is often a bad idea unless toner cartridges are FULL!

@328gts

HP LaserJet 2600n aswell for me.

@Troels

I have two colorlasers: HP LaserJet 2600n and a Brother HL-4040CN, Both costs in Denmark around ?300.
The LaserJet2600 is a good candidate.

The important thing to check is if the printer comes with toner cartridges when you buy it (often only half full).

Everytime I change catridges in my printes (once a month) I pay more for the cartridges than I paid for the printer!

But we must be sure that the support DOT4

@328gts

Great.

@DAX

Yes, DK - approx 100km from my place.
