Well, I just got my DeskJet Plus printer, and it didn't work (at first.)

It turns out that I have to power up the DeskJet before I power up my
Atari 520 ST, or the handshaking between the two comes up hung.

If I thereafter power down/up the DeskJet, I've lost the printer until
I push the reset button on the Atari.

Anybody else have this problem, I don't recall it being mentioned.

(Of course I didn't recall that the regular DeskJet Epson emulation
cartridge wouldn't work on the DeskJEt Plus, either.  I specifically
asked the ComputerLand salesman and he told me (and sold me) that it
would indeed work.  Well it didn't so they'll have to order a "Plus"
version of the emulator and exchange it with the one (wrong) that they
had in stock.)
