Does anyone have an Apple Laserwriter with Adobe Transcript software
running on a 3b2/600? We've had no problem with the same setup on
a 3b2/400 (running sV, rel 2.0.5), but on our 3b2/600 (sV rel 3.1.1),
we get about a page or two of output, and then we get (in the log
file) something like:
^C
rest of job flushed (or something to that affect)
It appears to me that pscomm is mis-interpreting some response (such
as ^S?) from the Laserwriter as an abort.
I'm wondering if there's something different about either sV rel 3,
or with the enhanced serial ports that our 3b2/600 has (the 3b2/400
has the non-enhanced serial ports). A while ago, I thought I
saw something in one of the manuals about something special in
regards to enhanced ports and stty, but I can't find the place
now - anyone know about this?
I'm pretty sure that cabling between the computer and the printer
is OK - the log gets all sorts of messages from the printer (like
"warming up") and I can run cu, type executive, and talk to the
postscript interpreter.
We're just trying to get enscript (text) output; I haven't even
attempted troff or graphics output.
