I've got an /etc/printcap entry all set up for a PostScript printer (an HP LaserJet IIID) and the appropriate cable to plug into the printer port. (Or the comm port? I don't know which ...) However, I have no idea what the entry is in /dev is so that I can actually send stuff down the pipe! Help! And we've managed to lose our 2100/3100 hardware-specific manual. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Kevin Ruddy smiles@ferrari.nmc.ed.ray.com

The printer port is *usually* /dev/tty01. If you want to check, run file /dev/tty0[01] You should get output along the lines of the following: /dev/tty00: character special (0/2) VS_SLU #0 terminal #2 modem_control off /dev/tty01: character special (0/3) VS_SLU #0 terminal #3 modem_control off The second of the two above corresponds to the jack labelled with a picture of a printer.
