If only I had anything to print...

My parents have me their old printer, on account of my having a parallel port.  Something that seems to have gone the way of the floppy disk (I have one of them too).  Didn't take that long to get it running.  Printed off a few things quite happily, but then ran out of memory.

aperrotwas kind enough to give me some leftover SIMMs that he found (they've gone to Silicon extinction as well), and ingaborg was kind enough to bring them to Welwyn for me (thanks both of you).  Tried installing them.  Printer stopped working.  Tried only installing only one of them.  That worked.  Yay!  20Megs is plenty of RAM for a printer. It should be able to take 36 megs though.  No idea what's happening there.  It's the right RAM and everything.

Still can't get it to print on manual feed .

I'm really not sure this printer was worth what I paid for it.  So far we're on £0.

Am expecting it to say "PC LOAD LETTER" any day now.
