- I want to be able to connect an HP paintjet printer to one of
- my SG boxes and use it to print SG image files (no text, just pixels).
- I want a cheap (and hopefully not too nasty) way of using one of
- the many paintjet printers we have lying around to get screen
- dumps from the console.
-
- Has anyone out there:
- (i) Done this ?
- (ii) Did you use a serial port or the parallel Centronix port ?
- (iii) Where did you get the filter program for the lp spooler ?
- (iv) Anything else I should know ?
-
- Thanks in advance for any suggestions, I will post a summary if
- anything useful is emailed to me.
