[comp.sys.dec] LN03 and DEC LAT MC server

treed@dasys1.UUCP (Timothy Reed) (11/01/88)

Has anyone successfully connected and run an LN03 PostScript printer to
a LAT server?  DEC says that postscript is officially unsupported on
the LAT and ultrix 2.2, but my tech support says they've heard that it 
can be done.

I think you are out of luck trying to run a Postscript printer on the LAT
port.  The printer is trying to send status information back to the CPU
but Ultrix 2.x can't handle return data over a reverse LAT port.  I think
Ultrix 2.0 went so far as to crash when the printer returned too much
information.

I believe this is supported in ULTRIX 3.0.  CHeck with your local sales
rep and/or software services rep.
