- I'm using an SLC with sunos 4.1.3, with a HP 4M printer.
-
- I have a null-modem cable, but all I seem to get is jiberish (in PCL mode).
- I assume it's a parity problem, but no matter what I try, nothing seems
- to change.
-
- Once, I got some "real" text to appear, but when I tried it again, the
- same garbled text started again.
-
- Is there anyone who has a known printcap that works with an HP 4M? I'd like
- to determine if my serial port got screwed up or the printer.
-
- Also, is there anything extra needed to change a printcap setting (like kill
- lpd?) How can I be assured the change is taking effect?
