Any suggestions for laser printers compatible with both PC/Linux and with AtariST ?
Thanks ! :geek:

Re: Laser Printing with the ST
Well, it would have to be a very old one with a parallel port for it to work with the ST directly. Otherwise you'd have to have something which could interface with the parallel port, take the output and then render it as PCL5, PCL6 or Postscript and send it to a USB or networked printer.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

Re: Laser Printing with the ST
I think I've found something that will work: Brother HL-5240, it has both parallel and USB ports.
I'm not great at sight-reading, but I'd really like to be able to print some music out of Notator to hand to the minstrels in the event we can ever congregate in groups again.

Re: Laser Printing with the ST
You will need a printer driver to send the correct codes to the printer to write the image.
Is there a PCL5 driver on the ST?
