[comp.sys.dec] Connecting a Mannesmann Tally 1805 to a DEC 5500

jeff@henson.cc.wwu.edu (Jeff Wandling) (06/29/91)

System: Ultrix 4.1, DEC 5500 and a 16 port serial board (9 pin connectors)

Printer: Mannesmann Tally 1805 (Apparently acting like DTE) (25 pin)


I got them connected and the breakout box says that the right lines are
crossed, but no data comes out. Nothing.

The lpq shows the job "printing via dev" and the /usr/spool/lp/lock
reads "waiting for block on 'ttylp' "

My other printers are connected through a Micom connection and they work fine.
It's just the direct connection from the serial board to the printer that seems
to be screwy. Any lines I have to cross/not cross?    

Any ideas?
