I have just inherited a color dot matrix printer, but I have no manuals or
documentation and I want to try to get it to work on my Amiga.
It has a Dataproducts label on the front, on the back it says Dipix model
Prism-80. The bottom has another label from Integrated Data Systems (a division
of Dataproducts). Along the top it has a set of 14 DIP switches, a self-test switch
(I figured that one out myself), and labeled on-line, form-feed, etc. switches.
It has a serial interface in the back, and I have got it printing out at 9600 baud from
my Sun, so I know it works.
Does anyone know:
	1) What are the dip switches for?
	2) What control codes does this printer accept? 
	3) Is it compatible with any other printer?
	4) Are there any Amiga printer drivers for it?
	5) How can I get ribbons (I only have a black one now), and is this
	printer still made?

Thank you for any help.
