Hey J, According to the 1984 Radio Shack catalog <https://archive.org/details/RSC-10_Computer_Catalog_1984_Radio_Shack/page/n58/mode/1up> (RSC-10), your DMP 130 should work just fine. It says:
*Complete Interface Capability.* Connect your Model 100 to any Radio Shack > dot- matrix, daisy wheel or graphics printer via the parallel interface. Of course, they may mean that it can print *text* on a graphics printer. Try plugging in your DMP 130, opening up a TEXT document, and then press the PRINT button. (Alternately, try CTRL+Y which lets you adjust the print format first). If it seems to just hang, use SHIFT+BREAK to abort printing. I don't believe the Model 100 came with any specialized printer drivers, so you'll need to find a program if you want graphics. I seem to recall seeing a program in the Compuserve archive to print barcodes that could be read with the wand attachment. I'm curious how it works out for you. I have a similar printer (DMP 100) but never hooked it up to my Tandy 200 as I've got no ribbons or paper.. Also, where do you even get ribbons these days? —b9 On Wed, Sep 28, 2022 at 2:33 PM Jason White <[email protected]> wrote: > Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2022 18:16:31 -0500 > From: Will Senn <[email protected]> > > Will the m100 work with pretty much any parallel port printer or does it > have to have a specific driver?
