I have a 3B2/500 computer and I want to hang an AT&T 447 printer off of it using the "lp" line printer spooling utilities supplied with the computer. The 447 is a high speed line printer (1000 lines/minute) which stands about 4 feet tall and 4 feet wide. I don't have a manual for the printer. My attempts to print a file to the 447 line printer prints a line of question marks "????????????????????????" and the paper does not scroll even though the file I am sending it has multiple lines. I would like to hear from anyone who has interfaced this type of printer to any computer using "lp", or has a manual for the 447. Please send email to the address below, or post a reply if the email doesn't work. Thanks in advance.
