[comp.sys.dec] LP07 printer on a VAX running VMS

marsh@umt.UUCP (Paul Marsh) (03/31/88)

We have a couple LP07 printers connected to a DEC 2065, which we would like
to use on our cluster, once the "dinosaur" :-) goes away.  Has anyone been
successful in doing this?  I've been in contact with another site doing this,
and apparently there's problems with loading the VFU.  The solution that DEC
gave them, was to send them a mechanical VFU for their printer.  I'm sure
that works, but we have no desire to have to return to the 60's, and begin
punching paper tape just to use them.  Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
