The printer support in OS4 has always been sadly lacking (we can't use anything from OS 3.9 and Turboprint barely runs because of its old bugs). Adding USB drivers in the chain only exposes more problems. The problem wasn't exposed in the previous version of usbprinter.device so I think it's a usbp...

Nothing untoward happens. No requesters, no ringhio notifications. Maybe it would help if we knew if we are talking about the same version of usbprinter.device or not. The version information for my usbprinter.device is v53.2 (11/12/2009). The previous version 52.8 (3/11/2008) does not exhibit the ...

But of course it could be done, conceptually. Whether it is feasible reasonably to make the existing copy command do it, I don't know. Links (at least soft links) get copied with a WorkBench drag-n-drop copy. Maybe the problem is in dos.library rather than the copy command because Dopus4 botches li...

It better be fixed by the time I finish this sentence. ;-) It would be nice if getting things fixed was as simple as demanding that it happen :-) When these forums started, I sort of expected that bugs and problems would be acknowledged in some way. It would be nice to hear something like: "Ad...

@fingus I don't think it is necessarily a language issue. Like other KingCON users, I immediately knew that you were suggesting an editable command line in the Amiga shell (console actually). Most of us would like to see most of the additional features in KingCon included in the Amiga console (scrol...

Yes. It's actually OS 4.1 update 2. Just wishful thinking I suppose.

Some word processing programs open the printer.device to access the current settings when they start. usbprinter.device throws up requesters (& Ringhio notifications) if the device is opened with the printer off. If I attempt to change the device from usbprinter.device to printer.device in print...

hi. i think this has to be made more easy for the end user. why entering such values at all? isn't the system able to just set them correct? I think most of the default settings are O.K. for current filesystems. The only problem I ever had was the "blocksize" , which defaulted to 1024 but...

@corto
One of my makefiles uses @@ in a similar way but right now I don't have time for a recompile to see if it still works. There is one extra thing in my makefile; it has a backslash after the @@ like this:
@if exists ${ARCHIVE_BASE} @@\
delete ${ARCHIVE_BASE} @@\
endif

While I was responding to a problem at Amigans.net, I noticed that NotePad does not bring the screen to the front when it is opened on a Public Screen with the "PUBSCREEN=screen_name" TOOLTYPE. It's a little disconcerting when you double-click a program icon and the WorkBench window it app...
