DMP 3000

[helen kf]

I have a Dot Matrix Printer 3000 and I have connected it to my Amstrad CPC464 but I can't get anything to print excpet the test page.
Does anyone know what the commands are?
I've tried LPRINT "hello" and a few others but nothing seems to work....
thanks

also- any ideas where I can get a new ribbon?

thanks!!

Dear Helen.I am searching for an AMSTRAD DMP 3000.If you want to sell yours i am willing to buy.In the meantime try this command:PRINT #8,''Helen''. OR: PRINT #''Helen''. There is an instruction manual for an AMSTRAD DMP 3000 available on ebay at the moment,it costs £15.In the search box in ebay type 'AMSTRAD DMP 3000'.There are literally hundreds of websites that sell ribbons.Go to google and in the search box type:AMSTRAD DMP 3000.The command you have been using(LPRINT ''hello'')is suitable for microsoft BASIC,You need the AMSTRAD BASIC commands.
