[comp.sys.hp] How do I connect a parallel printer to HP9000/400s?

mrb@cs.uiuc.edu (Mike Bray) (01/15/91)

I am trying to hook up a Laserjet III to the parallel port of an 
HP 9000/400s system.  How do I do it?  How do I make the /dev/??? file?

Is this documented in some HP manual?  I certainly can't find it.

Thanks,
Mike Bray    bray@cs.uiuc.edu

What version of HP-UX (or is it DOMAIN?)

If HP-UX, and
   if 7.05, then write to me for documentation
   else if 7.0 or 7.03, obtain a patch from your local HP support person.
   If they don't have it, have them contact me.
