[comp.unix.questions] How to set up paintjet

mferrare@physics.adelaide.edu.au (Mark Ferraretto) (01/17/91)

I have a paintjet printer that I want to hook up to my Sony 3410 off its
/dev/tty00 port (equiv to /dev/ttya).  I can dump text to it but I want
to print (raster) graphics as well.  Are there any drivers for paintjets
around?  Do I have to write something to make the paintjet realise that
what's coming is graphics and not text?  Every time I dump a raster file to
it it comes out as (strange) characters.
