Grigsby ( GRIGSBYJ ) Subject: Connecting LN03R to TEK PS We have been trying, with the help of Tektronix reps, to connect a DEC LN03R Scriptprinter to a Tektronix Phaser Printstation. There is a serial port available on the Printstation, and the techies from Tektronix say that it works fine with an Apple LaserWriter (no versions or other qualifying letters). Conversely, the LN03R works fine when using the LaserWriter II drivers from most Windows applications (e.g. ALLWAYS). However, we can't seem to get past the initialization stage between the Printstation and the LN03R. The error which is related back is that the Offending Command is "exit server". The instructions which come with the Printstation include some help for connecting a LaserWriter IINTX to this particular serial port. However, we can't seem to get past the initialization point to proceed with any further instructions to see if this will work. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? Thanks in advance. JS MIS Staff
