I have a new 3/80 that I am trying to use as a print server for a number
of machines. I am using the standard transcript package with an Apple
laserwriter plus. My problem is that when I connect the apple laserwriter
to the Sun (port ttya), I get a number of "Offending Command" message with
what looks like garbage. I can connect a terminal just fine, and can
connect the same terminal to the laserwriter (and use executive mode) with
no problem. But as soon as I connect the laserwriter, nothing works.
This problem happens even with the transcript software un-installed. I
cannot even tip out to the printer (but can tip to the terminal with no
problem). The terminal is 7 bit, even parity; which should be the same as
the laserwriter. Any idea what's going wrong?!?
