Nowhere in my documentation does it say what kind of handshaking is
expected between the Amiga and its printer. I have an Epson MX80III
with a Gold Eagle Serial Interface. This interface buffers about 4K.
It also offers five different kinds of handshaking. On the Unix
machine where it used to run it was set up for DTR, but CTS, RTS,
ETX/ACK and X-on/X-off are also supported.
My problem is when printing a Scribble document, the printer buffer
seems to fill once and that's it. The prompt comes back up on the
Amiga and there is no way to get the entire document out -- forward
is not acceptable here. I had to resort to breaking the document
into multiple page pieces of less than 4K.
Has anyone encountered this problem and is there a solution?

If you have any serial interface-type printer, you should use the new AmigaDOS 1.2 (the Enhancer). In preferences, there is a new serial screen where you can set, among many things, the type of handshaking to do (XON/XOFF, CTS/RTS, etc.) there was no way to set this under AmigaDOS 1.1. _____

There was a way under 1.1, it is/was called the SetSerial program that is available on disk 6 of the fish collection. You should also note that the 1.2 preferences will let you set the serial port to the MIDI baudrate of 31.25Kbaud. -- --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
