we have some apple laserwriter II nt's in our labs. i recently received a technical report via e-mail that is a postscript file. when i tried to print it under dos to the laserwriter with the command: COPY BENCHMRK.ANL/B LPT1 only the first page gets printed. (i had already issued a MODE command to setup the com port as lpt1, at the proper baud rate.) a friend who uses a version of TeX for the pc suggested that dos is not handling the hand-shaking between the pc and the laserwriter properly. to demonstrate his point, he printed my document via a program (not public domain) that came with his TeX package. it printed everything just fine. does anyone know of a public domain executable (.com or .exe) that does the same thing. please e-mail to me directly. if lot's of other folks send me e-mail asking for the info., once i get it, i will post a response to the net. thanks, ------- Terry Harrison Management Science Department 336 Beam Business Administration Building Penn State University University Park, PA 16802 (814) 863-3357 BITNET: hbx@psuvm UUCP: ...!psuvax1!psuvm.bitnet!hbx ARPA: hbx at psuvm.psu.edu
