Hi. We try to send the data from Pyramid computer to QMS laser printer. But, the message "printer not on-line" (I forgot the exact words) appears on the console occasionally. The laser printer works fine. It prints the status summary sheet when the printer is powered on. Also, it prints the test pattern, ejects page, etc. during on-line diagnostics. This printer should not cause any problem. We checked the wire from laser printer to computer and it is firmly connected. But, still the message "... not on-line" appears on the console when we try to send data to printer. Is it a hardware problem? Or, am I missing something? Do you know any solution to this problem? I welcome any kind of solutions. The laser printer is QMS Lasergrafix 2400. Thanks, Joseph Pietro Riolo <riolo@ardc.arpa>
