- Hello,
- I've got a MacIIcx running A/UX 3.0 which is being used as
- an interface between a bunch of SGI UNIX boxes and a laserwriter IIg
- on localtalk. The UNIX boxes use 'lp' to send their files to my
- mac and the mac sends the files on out to the laserwriter using the
- chooser printer. After a reboot of the Mac this works fine until
- I print from a macOS application on the cx. After that, the files get
- to the Mac from the UNIX boxes, but the printer just sits there and
- blinks its recieve light.
- For example:
- (Reboot)
- printing from caesar.iaf.uiowa.edu using lp through the mac works fine.
- (I select a range of text in a command shell and select print selection...)
- The selected range prints fine.
- printing from caesar.iaf.uiowa.edu using lp causes the file to be moved
- to the cx. The laserwriter starts blinking (like it is receiving data)
- but never quits. I can still print from MacOS apps on the Mac, and
- eventially, the lp job disappears (lpstat -t).
-
- Any ideas as to where the problem might be? We did not have the
- problem under A/UX 2.0 and an LaserWriter NT. It only appeared after one
- or the other was upgraded(replaced).
-
- Thanks,
-
