Subject: problem with EPORTS card
From: pacbell!att!mhuxu!rs
We recently moved a HP laserjet+ printer from a 3B2 PORTS card to an EPORTS
card. Running off the EPORTS card is generating a high number of
error 22s from the laserjet. We are using the standard black modular cable
and the terminal/printer connector. Do the EPORTS card require a different
type of modular connector?
Thanks

Bob,
That sounds like an interesting problem.
I have a laserjet plugged into an EPORTS card, but I have about
250 feet of RS232 cable between the RJ-45 cable/adapter and the printer.
I run it at 9600 and have not had a glitch in the 6 mos or so it has
been in place. What sort of behavior do you get if you plug a terminal
into the line in place of the printer? What kind of load is on the
other 7 ports on the card?
You can email me directly or to the list if you think it's of general
interest.

Welcome to the insane world of HP LaserJet's. Yes, the LaserJet DOES require a
special cable to work with an EPORTS. The cable is known in the 3B2 world as
a "Hardware Flow Control" cable. Also you will have to modify the spooler
script to turn on hardware flow control on the EPORTS. Check in your 3B2
owner/operator manual for further info.
