gmcLook what came in the mail today!
Afterglow@gmc Wow!
It was the printer which was part of the #amstrad #joyce system?
I remember, that there was also a black version of it for the #amstradcpc (DMP2000?)
@gmc For my #amstradcpc I had the #epson lx-86 #dotmatrix printer with 9 needles.
Had much fun with trying out many of the ESC-p codes
```
print chr$(27) + "W"
```
to turn double width printing on or off.

@afterglow Oh yeah, I had an Epson on my PC as well, was printing fractals and weird mathemetical landscapes and stuff. The Amstrad DMP3000 supports the same Epson command set according to the manual, so that'll be cool.
@afterglow I'm not entirely sure to be honest, first time I've seen one of these. What I gatherd from cpcwiki is that the DMP2000 is only compatible with Amstrad, whereas the DMP3000 has an additional character set for IBM-PC compatibility.
@gmc I didn't see the #amstradpcw ever, but now I learned, that its name was Amstrad PCW and the same from german Schneider was called Joyce.
And yes, you are right, the DMP3000 wasn't part of the PCW/Joyce system.
