[comp.sys.hp] Connecting a Brother HL-8 printer to 9000/360

idj@mo.adl.dwr.csiro.au (Ian Jolly) (05/21/91)

We have a HP 9000/360 running HPUX 6.5.  We wish to attach our Brother HL-8 laser printer to the serial inteface of the 360 (HP 98644 at select code 9).  The serial port of the HP interface has a 9 pin socket.  Does anyone know what the pinouts for this might be.  Further, what are the corresponding pins for the 25 pin socket of the serial interface of the Brother.  The Brother emulates a HP Laserjet+ so I presume the serial interface will be similar.  I have created a device driver (called lj) for the pri









nter:

crw-------   1 lp       bin        1 0x090004 May 16 09:10 /dev/lj

I am aware of the method of setting up the baud rate etc. with stty (including doing nohup sleep 99999999999 </dev/lj & etc.  Any help on the actual interfacing would be appreciated.
