- I have a Deskwriter C which, on occasion, seizes up in the middle of a
- page and loses the rest of the text. The error given on the screen is
- Error -90: the printer gives me a page with the single line "Datacomm
- buffer overrun - no DTR handshaking". Of what is this symptomatic? The
- FM seems to imply it might be the cable's fault, but doesn't give any
- instructions or suggestions _in re:_ fixing the damn thing.
-
- So: has this happened to you? How did you fix it? Thanks for your help.
