Hello netters,
My company recently relinquished their lease on several DEC
LN03 laserprinters, choosing to instead connect their MicroVAX IIs
to an existing Apple LaserWriter. They wish to be able to keep both
the Macintoshes and the MicroVAXes connected at the same time. They
are presently using a Buffalo serial driver to send the MicroVAX
printouts through the 9600 baud setting, but must switch to Appletalk
and reboot the printer if a Mac user wants to print something.
Is there any way to have both Macs and MicroVAX IIs connected to
just the Appletalk line or just the serial line? They would prefer to
keep the present equipment if possible. Thanks.
Reply via email or net (email preferred). Will summarize if
anyone else is interested.
P.S. On a related subject, is anyone familiar with CA-Disspla v11
on the VAX? It has a Postscript interpreter used to convert
plots to PS before printing them. It fails to notify the printer
when a file is completed printing, and plots are having to be
resent due to being ignored by the printer. (It seems printing
a second document frees the printer from its 'processing' mode,
so every other plot is getting lost. Any suggestions, fixes,
or other advice on solving this problem is most welcome.
