We have a DECmate word processor, with a DEC LQP letter quality
printer. We also have a 750 with 4.2 BSD, and would like to share
the printer between the two machines.
I set up a printcap entry for the LQP, based on our entry for our
printronix printers, and found that only the 1st line of the banner
gets printed. The rest of the file is lost.
I know that we are hooked up correctly, because i can output to the
printer using CU.
I have been told that the LQP, which appears to be a Diablo Hytype II,
model 35A, uses ETX/ACK type protocal. Ideally I would like it to run
with a DTR handshake, failing that XON/XOFF should work. But I am concerned
as to what would need to be done to the DECmate, once we change the protocal
on the LQP.
Look forward to the replies.....
