- We have just received an applelaserwriter IIg and have connected it to
- a SparcStation 2. The printer is set to print at 19200 and the serial
- port on the ss2 is set for 19200,8,n,1,-. We also have transcript 2.1
- installed and this is the printcap entry on the ss2:

- :cf=/usr/local/lib/ts/pscf:df=/usr/local/lib/ts/psdf:

- And with this, the printer sometimes prints and sometimes doesn't.
- I know that all the files that I have attempted to print will work on
- a plain applelaserwrite, but not on the new one.
-
- Here is a sample error message.

- Does anyone currently have a IIg and a SS2 connected and working with
- or without transcript? If so, and you might have some insight to the
- above problem, please let me know so that we may get this printer
- working.
-
- thanks.
