I have installed transcript 2.0 under SunOS4.0 for a Laserwriter Plus.
The printer is attached to a Sun 3/260 via a RS232 line from one of the
ttyports on the alm-2. It works ok for small files but jams on larger one
over 4 pages or so. THe yellow light on the printer double flashes. The
assumption is that the XON/XOFF is screwewd up and the printer is getting
overwhelmed. THings work fine with s NTXII laserwriter. Any ideas? Here is
the printcap we currently have:

Perhaps we've been living on the edge, but we've been running TranScript 2.0 on our Sun-3s under 4.0 without a hitch, big files and small. Now, it is true that you must use 2.1 for a Sun-4 under 4.x, but Sun-3s seem to do just fine. Evan R. Moore Academic Computing Group Williams College 91erm@bigbird.cc.williams.edu
