[Ql-Users] Printer query
Hi everyone, I got asked the following question by a user in Italy – does anyone know the answer? Dilwyn Jones my printer epl 6200 (advanced) is practically out of service (after 12 years). for the new printer I am evaluating a s SAMSUNG printer series C 410 B/W.laser type,scanner and fax included,Samsung Universal Printer Driver 2 PLC6. Before buying, THE VENDOR has accepted to verify the compatibility of Samsung printer with QPC/QPCprint installed in my computer (Window 7) now working correctly with EPL 6200. For preparing the Emulator in view of the compatibility test ,I think that I should use INSTALL_BAS . HOWEVER,the list of printers in it does not include any model of PRInters even by far similar to SAMSUNG: my question is: what kind of selection should I do and which are the fundamental instructions to include beside the choice of PARALLEL PORT ? ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

This is all very confusing. If he already uses QPCPrint, then nothing needs to be changed. But he says he is using PCL6, which is not supported by QPCPrint, so he obviously doesn't use it... QPCPrint emulates ESC/P2, so any printer with that needs to be selected. QPCPrint needs to be installed in the QPC directory and Use printer filter needs to be selected in the SER/PAR dialog for the port he intends to use (PAR1 usually). That's it.

Not 100% compatible with XP, but no serious problems with Windows 8 using Samsung Universal Driver 2. This is in spite of having to use a parallel to USB cable. I have no problems with QPC and QPCprint. The settings I use are Par4 with the printer option ticked and use filter ticked, Best wishes, Geoff ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

If QPC2 and the printer worked together before the printer change they should continue to do so after that without any change „inside“ the emulated QL. I’ve changed my printer several times since I have QPCPrint (now have a Samsung CLX 3300) and never had to change anything inside QPC2 Regards, Tobias ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
