Hi, I am trying to print some PDF via a HP Laserjet 1100, currently
there are no built-in drivers in MorphOS, but I assume there is a
compatible driver there. Anyway, when I try to print something I get a
system request to insert PS: in any drive. I think this is PostScript,
but what should I do?

Hi Leon,

You'll have to wait for the next MOS-version if you want to print with MOS.
There are some troubles with it at the moment.

I thought that TurboPrint was working fine in Morphos 1.4?

What problems are there with Morphos and printing?

A lot

printing via usb fails very often, but with parallel also. If the printer is set up it does work only with this and that software but not with that and this. And so on...

Developers say printing in MOS 1.4 is broken, it´s fixed - guess it - within the next release.

There have been some people reporting that they have their printers working. I have yet to find anyone that has a working HP printer though. I hope that this is corrected by 1.5 since this keeps me from completely switching over at my house.

Thank you very much, but what is this PS: assign? I assume this should be the folder where the PostScript fonts are, am I right? I am completely far from having experience about PostScript.

At the moment I'm using Studio for Pagestream to print. It works fine, it only gives a warning: "Error 12 in IFF read module. Reason: IFF syntax error"
After clicking on it the computer starts to print without any problems!

Hello Tomo,

Do You have a Peg 1 or a Peg 2?

AFAIK printing with the Peg 2 doesn't work.
I had the Peg 1, with that I could print from various programs.

So, I'm very curious with which Peg you've printed so far

I got my old HP672c to print okay from Peg 1 with
turboprint enabled. It seems to work with most
software. It is a parallel connection.

Hello Druideck,

I've got a HPDeskjet920C.
Printing was fine on the Peg 1, except printing pictures. The colors were inverted or so.
I did understand that GraphicPublisher V7.20 does work with Peg 1.

Bye,

i had the same problem, i "solved" it by unchecking "Pure Black".
my color cartridge will die sooner but i have right colors...

LaserJet are Postscript compatible, set the device in the print requester to "PAR:" in APDF and then the printer prints the whole thing.
I've got a LaserJet 2200 and it works.

But I heard the parallel.device for PegII is broken (i've got a Peg1), perhaps it doesn't work at all. Try it.
