We'll need more details. Which terminal emulation are you using? What kind
of connection do you have? What kind of flow control is being used, if any?
What kind of printer is it, and how is it connected to the PC (serial or
parallel or network)? What character-set is being used on the host? On
the printer? And most important, which method of printing are you using? --
Transparent print, autoprint, print-screen, etc?
I'm sure you must be aware that DC3 is XOFF -- the character used most
commonly in software flow control to stop transmission. So naturally if you
are using Xon/Xoff flow control between Kermit and the RS/6000, there will be
conflict.
And by the way, how does one switch from red back to black printing?
