AARRGGHH!! If _*ANYONE*_ out there has EVER made a TVI925 print to a printer through the printer port on the back, PLEASE help me! I have an Epson LX-80 and I want my friendly TVI925 to talk to it so I don't have to make the hike from my room to the nearest ECN printer every time I want a hardcopy. I have an old serial->parallel interface I am using, and it provides a signal indicating printer status, but the 925 seems to ignore it and print right through a BUSY condition. I have played with the DIP switches that turn DSR and DCD on and off, I have tried connecting the BUSY line to EVERY input on the entire port.... nothing. If there is anyone out there who has done the impossible, please drop me a line or point me in the right direction.. please????????????? Right now, it ALMOST works, which is perhaps the most frustrating thing of all. It just drops characters, ALWAYS the same ones from any given print... Thanks to all of you who respond via E-mail!! -- Gary A. Irick, Purdue University | "You can log out any time you like, INTERNET: irick@en.ecn.purdue.edu | But you can never leave!"
