A printed wall calendar was one of my first TRS-80 16K Model 1 Level II (then a 48K with expansion Interface) programs after I designed an interface to the IBM Selectric I/O Writer I purchased as surplus where I was working at the time. I could never get the bizarre algorithm correct to calculate

Socat is a Linux command line utility for connecting different streams together. So you would use it to connect wimodem232 tcp connections to a Epson printer emulator which would create jobs in the native Linux print subsystem. I've used socat extensively... I've never used any Linux Epson

Heh, John, that one line: *You could rig up with a Pi, wimodem232 and a dot matrix printer emulator, and a socat script. * Lots of learning for me in that. Wimodem232 I get. Pi I get. The printer emulator and especially socat are new. Not sure what the workflow would be, but would be an

Ken, That is super cool. As you are aware, getting parts "space qualified" will have its own unique set of challenges. Honeywell supplied most of the computers that run the ISS.They called them MDMs (for Multiplexer/DeMultiplexer). They all started out as 386 computers although some of

Good point Lloyd -- and how I'll likely proceed. Backpack is very cool and a great interim solution. Would be neat if there was such a thing as an RS-232 -> WiFi printer spooler that just sat on the RS-232 and sent print jobs to the local wifi printer. I did a quick search and couldn't see
