We are running 4.2BSD on a VAX 780. We are running a version of the DMF driver other than the one that came with 4.2. It is labelled "MDDC Version 1.00". It claims to support the line printer port. We now have a Wespergroup Model DLP-1132 controller for a line printer that is supposed to look like a DMF, but is just the line printer port. I have been unable to get this combination working, and wonder whether has had any relevant experience that they can share with me. The symptoms are that the autoconfiguration picks up the controller properly, but any attempt to access the printer just hangs. e.g. echo hello >/dev/lp2 will just sit there, and the process cannot be killed. The hardware works on our VMS system, so I don't think that that is the problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated. -- David Trueman Microtel Pacific Research {ihnp4!alberta sun utcsri}!ubc-vision!mprvaxa!trueman
