Hi all
i have read at least a half dozen serial howto's , a few man pages but im
more confused than when i starting hooking up this older Apple Laser IIf
with serial interface. i have had this printer working fine under windows.
the spec's are RS-232 , baud 19200 using a null modem cable. in Linux i have
/dev/ttyS0 set to 19200 baud and i can cat a file to it .. but the laser
wants postscript. i have read some on ghostscript but im still not getting
printable output. another test i tried is to cat a postscript file directly
to the port, i get a blinking status light {as if it was working properly}
but then it just stops ... i understand by using null modem that the data
gets sent without any error control because of NULL handshake, the printer
just reads the data and process's it. lastly i will be using this printer
under Linux so im wondering if i can use lpr {with some tweaking of
/etc/printcap} and get jobs to print correctly. anyone have this situation
beat ? Thanks Greatly Rob F.
