[comp.os.msdos.misc] Apple Imagewriter connected to an IBM RS-232

larry@fungus.UUCP (Larry Ng) (03/06/91)

  
After connecting the Apple Imagewriter printer to my
IBM computer, I kept on receiving paper out errors whenever
I tried printing anything.  But the problem disappears after
I run Wordperfect 5.1 configured for the Imagewriter.  My
theory is that Wordperfect sends some sort of initialization string
to the printer before it prints anything.
So my question is - does anybody know the initialization string
to send to the Apple Imagewriter connected to an IBM AT?
  
-Thanks
