Our System: We have PC's connected to our Sun Network via PC-NFS over ethernet. The PC's are served by a Sun 3/180 while the Workstations are served by a Sun 4/280. The Sun 4/280 also serves as a timeshare machine. All of our printers, modems, terminals are connected via 2 alms on the 4/280. We have a few minor problems /questions that I would like input on. Please send mail to me, if there is enough interest, I will summarize to sunspots. Does anyone have a printcap entry for a Star SD-15 in IBM Proprinter Mode. Physics students use an applications program on the PC's called MathCad. Many times we have to reset the printer because the program does not and text that follows is garbled. Is there any way to force a reset of some sort before each job? (What control character sequence would I need to send?) Does anyone have a printcap entries for a Printronix MVP in Normal and Epson modes? Does anybody have a termcap entry for an Ampex 219 in Ampex mode? If text output is sent to our Apple LaserWriter Plus right after other text, the first output prints ok but the second output ends up in the upper left hand corner of the page and is a 3/4" high. Users say they can't read this so they print it again and we end up wasting alot of paper. Usually when text follows a job printed by an applications program, the output is not shrunk. I assume it is a reset problem. Note that we are not using Adobe's software and would appreciate a fix that is something other than "buy the Adobe software". Thanks in advance, Bill Krauss William F.
