A friend of mine has bought an inexpensive unix box (68k) that comes with 4 rs232 ports. He would like to hook an inexpensive rs232 printer up to it. Once upon a time I tried to hook up an epson printer with both of their rs232 adapters and had no luck. My understanding is that some of these printers are fine for centronics interfaces but are seriously lacking in rs232 interfacing. So I would like to hear about something that you know that works. I had a lot of success with TI840 printers a year or so ago but I understand that they discontinued them. inexpensize = <$1k marty schoff@cadmus.ARPA {seismo,wanginst}!ucadmus!schoff
