- HELP HELP
-
- I'm installing a Calcomp plotter which we have bought second hand. I've some
- trouble getting the printcap entry right. The entries I tried are:
-
- #calc:\
- # :lp=/dev/tty94:sd=/usr/spool/calc:\
- # :ts=FJBO06:op=CALC_3:br#19200:sf:sh:mx#0:\
- # :ms=cs7,parenb,-parodd,-ignpar,ixon,ixoff,-echo:
- #
-
- and
-
- calc:\
- :br#2400:\
- :fc#0177777:\
- :fs#023:\
- :lp=/dev/tty94:\
- :mx#0:\
- :op=CALC_3:\
- :sd=/usr/spool/calc:\
- :sf:\
- :sh:\
- :ts=FJBO06:
- and
- calc2|lp2|calcomp:\
- :af=/usr/adm/calcomp:\
- :br#2400:\
- :ct=lat:\
- :fc#0177777:\
- :fs#023:\
- :lf=/usr/adm/calc2err:\
- :lp=/dev/tty94:\
- :mx#0:\
- :op=CALC_3:\
- :os=:\
- :sd=/usr/spool/calc2:\
- :ts=FJBO06:
-
- but none off them seam to work. The plotter starts plotting for a while. After some
- strokkes he stops.
- The host seems to find this out and restarts the plot.
-
- Maybe some of you are more experienced in writing printcap entries and can help me
- with my problem.
-
- One remark:
- the input file is alright. we copied it via the vax to the plotter and see, all went
- fine. I suspect the unix machine adds some information (a linefeed ...) so the
- plotter goes in error. Am i right?
