[comp.sys.ibm.pc] ATT 6386 Parallel Port

mja@whuts.att.com (AMMANN) (11/15/88)

I'm having trouble transmitting data over the parallel port
on may ATT 6386.  I'm sending postscript code to a postscript
printer like this -
type foo.ps > lpt1

if I tap a terminal into the rs232 line I can see that 
the postscript data looks correct. However if I tap the terminal into 
the return line(td: the one from the printer to the pc) I can
read that characters are lost. For instance it will
say "error offending command: fndfont" or some functional equivalent.
I'm  at my wit's end here and anyhelp would be vastly appreciated.

Muchos Gracias
