Printer vs Atarimax SIO2PC

[+toddtmw]

Greetings all.

 

I have been trying to get printing working for weeks now. Mostly, I want to use Print Shop.

 

Anyway, I bought an 850 interface and I bought a Panasonic KX-P1091. Then, I loaded the print shop disk into the APE software and tried to do printer setup. The results were really bad. Sometimes, I would get a little bit of output, sometimes I would get garbage, sometimes it would just form feed paper.

 

So, I figured the 850 was bad and bought an Ape Face printer adapater. It only has one SIO port, so I could not use my SIO2PC. So, I wrote the print shop images to disk and used real disks with the APE Face and everything worked. So, I took apart the 850 and reseated all of the chips and hooked it up and it worked with real disks. But, when I attach the SIO2PC, it does not work.

 

I know the SIO2PC has printer capabilities. I have the setting turned off, but it appears it is still interfering. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

 

Any advice on getting this to work?

 

Thank you.
