[net.wanted] Versatec V-80

hdj (01/28/83)

We have recently purchased a Versatec V-80 printer, which is
attached to our VAX.  We have noticed that we get long smears across
the paper whenever the V-80 pauses, which is frequently.  The Versatec
people inform us that this is due to the fact that the V-80 runs faster than
the VAX can drive it.

I suppose we could change the driver process's priority -- nice it down real
low -- but this would surely ruin the system's performance.

Does anyone have any constructive suggestions as to what we can do to
remedy this situation?

Thanks, as they say, in advance.
