Hi Folks I am having a problem getting the parallel port of a SUN 3/80 to talk to a Tektronix 4693DX color image printer. The current system configuration is; /---> dot matrix printer / Sun serial port --> A?B switch < \ \--->ser. to par. conv ---> Tek 4693DX This is kind of a rat rig but it works. When I try to use the parallel port for the 4693,I get errors like "pp0 not receiving interrupts". The Sun is part of an X-Ray analyzer marketed by Princeton Gamma Tech (PGT) and they tell me that the problem is that the Sun device driver is not compatible with the Tek 4693DX printer. I am wondering if anybody out there in netland has any light to shed on this OR MAYBE a fix even. If You do, HELP!! PLEASE!! Thanks -- Ken --
