( not a simple "laser-printer" but it does have a laser in it. :-) ) i just got a L300P with Postscript-RIP ( BTW what does "RIP" mean? ) but without a CRT front end. after many phone calls i find out that the "only" way to start up a L300 is from a CRT front end. the L300 seems to be a dumb box with a cpu & ram but little rom. it looks for some programs and commands to be sent to it via a 19.2KB tty type line. does anybody know just what is sent to the L300 to wake it up? and what hand shakeing might be required? scott bradner harvard university sob@harvard.{arpa,uucp,csnet,harvard.edu} sob@harvunxt.bitnet (617)495-3864.nynex 33 kirkland st, cambridge, ma, 02138.snail
