I have the following equipments:
(1) A Zenith Z-29-A terminal:
. It has two RS-232C ports, (one male and one female).
. It can fully compatible to VT100.
. I use it to connect to the UNIX system in my school via a modem.
(2) A daisy wheel printer:
. It has one parallel port
I try to connect them such that I can "dump" the screen to my printer.
(I use the VT100 print screen command: ESC#7). But I was fail. Is there
anyone know how to connect a parallel port to a serial port? Or, should
I need another "converter" between them? Or I will never success until I
buy a serial printer?

Their cost varies but I can get some specifics for you if you need them. - steve -- This .signature is under construction.
