- Help connect HP LJ II with Postscript Cartridge to Next Station
-
- Can some one tell me how to do this please. What I have is a serial
- interface 300 dpi postscript cart equipped printer which I connected
- to port a of the next with a Null-modem cable made as specified in the
- appendix of the NeXT user manual. Since the printmanager seem to know
- about laserjet III, laserjet 2D, Okidata laser, many NEC models, I tired
- all of them with no luck at all. May be I am missing something. Have I got
- to set the serial port with special permissions? I made sure the printcap
- (via nidump printcap) entry looked okay, i.e 9600 baud and port a. The error
- I get is that lpq -l report time out printer not responding etc.. But looking
- at the printer nothing SEEMS to come there.
-
- Any body did some thing similar? Please help. Thanks.
