Download printer drivers
Here is just a small sampling of printer drivers you can use. You'll find many more on other public domain sites. With GEOS 64, the printer driver you use must be on your boot disk as well as each disk containing applications that you will use for printing. The application will load the driver into memory from disk. With GEOS 128, this is not necessary. The printer driver only needs to be loaded into memory once, such as during bootup from your boot disk. These drivers all work with both GEOS 64 and GEOS 128.
The filenames are pretty much self-explanatory as to which printer these will work with. When you see "DS" in the filename, that means the printer will do double-strike for better quality printing. "QS" in the filename indicates quad-strike for even better quality. Be warned that these drivers are very slow due to the multiple passes made by the printhead.
The printers that require a parallel port interface that connects from the Commodore serial bus to the parallel port on the printer generally require that the interface be switched to transparent mode with no linefeeds added. Experimentation will determine the settings you will need to make.

You should have everything you need to run a decent GEOS system now. However, if you have other configurations that need to be supported such as the CMD-HD, RAMLink, geoRAM, or the BBGRam, then continue on to the next step and get what you need to use those devices.
