[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Printer cable for 3000HL

gklimes@gmu90x.UUCP (George Klimes) (10/17/89)

I tried to use a parallel cable from a Leading Edge Model D (which I
assume is IBM compatible in that respect) on my 3000HL (original
model). When I try to initiate printing, nothing happens - except
that the DOS prompt returns after a delay.

Is the parallel cable for the 3000HL different from those used on
IBM PCs and compatibles? The Leading Edge cable will be returned
eventually to the friend from whom I borrowed it, but I'd like to
hold off buying one until absolutely necessary.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
