- Hello,
- We had an Apple laserwriter IInt running off a Sun 4/280
- using LWkit. Recently we bought a IIg, in order to test it I tried
- simply plugging it into the nt's serial cable. Well, it didn't work.
- The behaviour: would wait a short while print the job and then
- wait 5 minutes to print the burst page
-
- lpq would give the status as 'synchronising
- communications' or 'busy'
-
- I tried recompiling LWkit under the assumption that it was
- changed for our laser accounting. But the behaviour persisted.
- Has anyone successfully attached a IIg to a Sun 4/280 running 4.1.1
- with LWkit or any other public domain software? Also, has anyone
- been able to hook it up using the ethernet port rather than a serial
- line.
-
- Thank you
- Matthew Sams
