[comp.unix.questions] MDQS driver for Sun laserwriter?

urban@spp2.UUCP (Michael Urban) (04/07/88)

We are running Doug Kingston's MDQS queueing system on
our Sun network; in general we find it preferable to
the Berkeley-style queueing software.  Does anyone
out there have a driver for Sun's laser printer?  Any
and all pointers would be appreciated; we don't have
the personnel power to do this work ourselves.

I don't know about "Sun's laser printer", but most laser printers
are accessed via an RS-232 serial line, for which the ttyserver
should be used (get the very latest version from BRL; it's been
improved in order to cope with Hewlett-Packard's brain-damaged
ideas about RS-232 connections).  Imagen printers can optionally
be accessed via Ethernet, using the imeserver.

While I can't help with a SUN laserwriter MDQS driver, I have 
modified the MDQS 2.11 generic tty driver to communicate with
an Apple Laserwriter.  If anyone would like it, I can make it
available.
