[comp.laser-printers] LaserJet woes

bnorris@SILVER.UCS.INDIANA.EDU (Bradley Reid Norris) (02/21/90)

	I have a LaserJet series II with some problems.  When I 
connect it to a CompuAdd 286, it ignores newlines and formfeeds,
scrambles various characters.  It is in a parallel configuration.
I used the same cable to connect an IBM QuietWriter which worked
just fine.  I connected this LaserJet to another computer with this
same cable and it worked fine.  I have tried using WordPerfect 5.0,
print from the DOS command line, copy con lpt1, but they all
act the same way.  
	For Instance, here is the way 
"LaserJet series II Communication OK" came out:
"MasesKeu!sesies!II!Commuoicauioo!OK!"

	Thanks for any help.
