[comp.unix.ultrix] LAT printing with Adobe Transcript software

dsg@mitre-bedford.ARPA (David S. Goldberg) (02/10/88)

	We have just upgraded our VAX8600 to Ultrix 2.2.  We are very
excited about the possibility of printing to a printer connected to a LAT,
because we've been doing it with our VMS machines.  So one of the first
things I did after setting up the OS and the networking was to set up LAT
ports.  We are having no problem connecting to the VAX from the DECserver,
so I'm confident that I did that set up correctly.  I also followed the
directions for setting up LAT printing carefully and believe that I did it
correctly.  I made the ttys file entries for the appropriate ttys off
nomodem, and set up the printcap files as they should be.  The problem seems
to be that the transcript if command (actually called pscomm) tries to read
from the printer.  It can't do so (always gets an "unexpected EOF") It has
worked when dircetly connected to a Sun, so I suspect that the LAT set up is
causing a one way connection.  Is that correct?  If so, does any one have
any fixes or work arounds?  I appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks,

Dave Goldberg
