[comp.periphs.printers] Help with printer cable to PC

fusco@csupwb.colostate.edu (Marc Fusco) (12/14/89)

I have been blessed (maybe cursed) with a Mannesmann Tally MT160
dot matrix printer.  I have no documentation with this machine and
am trying to configure it to a IBM-AT PC.  Apparently the printerj
is set up to use its serial port (25 pin) and I am having trouble
getting the PC's 9-pin serial port to talk to it.  I have tried the
basic null modem cable configuration.

Questions.

What is the appropriate cabling configuration?
Is this printer worth the trouble?


Thanks in advance..........please e-mail responses to me direct:
