[comp.laser-printers] QMS 800 PS -- Flow Control

rob%array@math.waterloo.EDU (Rob Marchand) (09/04/87)

Hi,
	We've got a QMS 800 PS, and we've attached it to a Tower/XP 
	running System V R.2.  We're trying to use it as a printer
	(noooooo...really?) -- Usually it works okay, but on occasion,
	typically when a large job is sent to it, it can hang the
	port.  It is set up for XON/OFF flow control (the printer, I mean).
	Is there any special set-up that I should have for the I/O port
	for this printer?  Whoever is using this printer, how is your
	port set up?   Just curious...
		Mail responses, if lots I'll post a summary
		(I know, you're all on the edge of your seats,
		 I mean, your ergonomically designed posterior
		 support apparatus :-)
	
	Thanks,
		Rob Marchand
