[Ql-Users] Epson EPL-6200 compatibility with QL
I was asked by a friend whether the Epson EPL-6200 laser printer (which shall support fx codes) is compatible with QL systems and software. I have a very old EPL-5200 which was compatible but I do not have any idea about this EPL-6200. I found in old emails some references to this printer as a possible choice but either they referred to the usage with Proforma or they did not give a real answer. Anybody has experience on this? Thank you Davide ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
Re: [Ql-Users] Epson EPL-6200 compatibility with QL
Hi Davide, as far as I am aware, the EPL-7100 and EPL-8100 were the last models which supported full ESC/P compatibility. Later models (all ending in x200 or higher) had a more limited set, or no compatibility at all. I remember that one of my German customers (was it Ralf Reköndt?? - Ralf reads here so he will know) had one of the more recent models and we wrote about it several times ... I do not remember if he was happy at all with the printer. I looked at laser printers some years ago and discovered that some Brother Lasers supported EPSON ESC/P and were REALLY cheap too! Maybe that would be an option for your friend to look at?

[Ql-Users] Epson EPL-6200 compatibility with QL
Davide I regret that I can not answer your question fully. A few months ago I bought one and am generally very pleased BUT I do not use it with a QL but rather with QPC under Windows 7. It prints my PostScript via GhostScript and is easily used with XChange (treat it as a laserjet). The real problem is that the utility to switch between modes explicitly does not run under Windows 7 but Windows ME and I have not been able to find a programmer's manual for the 6200 (should anyone do so please let me know). If, from QPC, I copy text directly to par1 it is printed (does this bypass the W printer driver). At the moment, I cannot access a QL/Q60 to try it out.

I do not remember if he was happy at all with the printer. Ah, of course. I still use my EPL-5200 and it still works perfectly with QDOS, SMS, Windows and Marcel's print program for QPC2. Unfortunately, I cannot say anything about the requested EPL-6200. Cheers...Ralf ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
