I just got a loaner PS laser printer for a trial run and I can't get
UNIX (i.e., Microport V/386 3.0e) to make it print. It's installed as a
dumb parallel printer on the port where previously I had my dumb
parallel dot matrix printer. echo hello ^L > /dev/lp does nothing. The
only thing that works is from inside DOSMerge/WordStar 2000 -- I can get
it to print the printer description file contents. (But I can't get WS2K
to find the initialization file so that I can print WS2K files!)
What have I stupidly omitted from this process???
Many thanks.
Pete
