- We have a couple of HP Laserjet IIIsi's hooked into our 7171. (They go
- through line-drivers, as the printers are on the other side of campus).
-
- We don't send any escape codes. Be sure the printer config is set correctly
- (correct baud rate etc).
-
- Try logging on to the 7171 console and do a direct NOTE to the port with the
- printer on it to see if your connection is good.
