[comp.unix.ultrix] Help with DS3100 and LaserWriter IINT

fshevlin@csvax1.cs.tcd.ie (06/23/89)

Hello,               
	I'm trying to get a DS3100 working with an Apple LaserWriter IINT.
	So far I have it printing most of the file (in PostScript format),
	but there always seems to a little bit at the end that doesn't 
	come out.

	I'm new to UNIX/Ultrix so I'm not 100% sure of what I should be 
	doing. If anybody out there has solved this problem I would 
	really appreciate a copy of the /etc/printcap entry (an explanation
	of what was going on wouldn't hurt either !).

							Thanks, Fergal.

Sounds like you might need to specify some particular "EOF" character
in the printcap entry, though it could also be a problem with handshaking.

Beware of LaserWriters, the serial characteristics change radically
depeneding on the some kind of switch setting (2'nd hand info)...
