<Please reply directly> We have a strange problem: An ALPS P2400C printer was purchased for use with an IBM/AT. It works fine via its serial/parallel interface with the PC. We are unable to get it working with either of 2 Sun 3/60s connected serially! We ran extensive tests to make sure that data was being sent out the SUN interface - it is. (data was cat'ed to the device as we do not yet have a printcap or spooler running) All settings are correct (verified over and over) Does anyone have any idea why this printer would work with PCs, but not SUNs? Has anyone hooked the printer up to a Sun? Needless to say ALPs technical help is confused, they say either that "They don't support Sun", or "how about trying this setting ..." Any ideas would be appreciated. ====== Daniel G. Winkowski (301) 725-1333 ARPA & CSNet: dgw@mimsy.umd.edu UUCP: uunet!mimsy!dgw
