153/Printers/Acorn/Read_Me

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Read_Me file for Acorn printers.
--------------------------------

The Acorn.JP-150 printer definition file is for
use with the Acorn JP 150 printer, which is a
Hewlett-Packard DeskJet Plus compatible printer.
See the HP.Read_Me file for more details.

Note that you should use "Generic DeskJet" paper
sizes in !Printers with the Acorn JP-150 printer.
If you use a version of !Printers earlier than
0.54, it will default to "A4 (Generic LJ)", which
you must change to "A4 (Generic DeskJet)". If you
do not do this, the output may be split over two
sheets of paper.
