- Lines: 15
-
- I have an HP Paintjet XL plotter that I am connecting to my SGI 4D/20. When
- I connect the printer using the parallel port and send a "snapshot" to it,
- all the colors come out fine. But if I connect this printer on the serial
- port, the colors are not the same as A). the snapshot (ipaste) and B). the
- output from it being attached parallel.
-
- I have access to a serial cable and not another parallel cable (for the time
- being), that is why I would like to connect it serially (sp). Any ideas or
- things I could try?
-
- Thanks,
