We will soon be ordering some DECstation 2100's and 3100's, and we already have an Apple LaserWriter printer and a few Telebit Trailblazer modems that we would like to hook up to the DECstations. I am somewhat familiar with the Transcript software for SunOS, and I have gotten HDB UUCP working with the Trailblazers on System V/386. However, I have never worked with BSD UUCP. Nor have I ever added a printer to an Ultrix machine. Can I hook the printer and modem directly into the serial ports on the DECstation? The Ultrix printer filter /usr/lib/lpdfilters/ln03rof converts ASCII files to Postscript, which makes me think I won't need any additional software to hook up the DECstation and LaserWriter if all I want to do is print text files. Am I right? What about printing troff files? Does Adobe sell Transcript for Ultrix? Can I just tell Ultrix the printer is a LN03? If anybody out there has the abover setup working, could you please mail me your /etc/printcap file and your UUCP configuration files? I'd RTFM if I could, but I don't have any manuals yet :-) -- Scott Weitzenkamp UUCP: uunet!talarian!scott Talarian Corporation ARPA: scott@talarian.uu.net "Welcome to the late show, starring NULL and void" -- Men At Work
