[comp.sys.next] HELP: Laserjet IIp to NeXTstation '040

jaya@cpsacs.cps.msu.edu (Jayashree Ramanathan) (06/08/91)

Hello netters:

I still have not got the Laserjet IIp (with postscript
support) working with the NeXTstation '040 running 2.1

The cable I am using is from NeXTConnection and just
today I double-checked with them that it will work
with Laserjet IIp.

I used the printcap entry and printer settings as
recommended in the latest FAQ. 

The printer goes through the self-test fine. But,
jobs get queued, but not printed. The command "lpq"
gives the error "printer not responding for x minutes".

Any hints/suggestions will be appreciated. Specifically,
I am looking for addresses/phone no.s of companies
that sell the printer cable and the printcap entry.

Regards,
Jayashree
