Damn it that *%&&((/&$$ printer does not work!
i have tried with win3.11 and the driver does not work there too.
I'm rather sure it is a hardware fault, as i would expect
the printer to light this data led if i send something through the dos
console.


It also has a 8-pin mini din serial connector.
I will try this.

the clean cartridge and print fonts / test head works, so i do not really 
understand
why the normal printing doesn't....

I had a very hard time getting that case apart (wanted to look if i see 
something oddd...
Brute force was required ;-).

It would be a good printer for flatbed conversion.
