Our School has a Daisywriter printer made by Computers International
model # 1500/2000. Problem is that we cant find the manual for it
and want to hook it up to a LAN as a remote printer. So, does any
body know of a printer it is compatable with. I'm looking for
a driver that will work with it. I have it hooked up to the network
and have got it printing except that it starts and stops during printing
and i have thought of everything i know of to fix it. So now i hope that
finding a compatble driver will fix the prob. I think that we are using
an okidata compatable driver to run it.....
We are running Novell 2.15 version c. I have set up a print server
and read the docs on that. I found a place where it says if the
print stops and starts during printer to increase the buffer. I have
done that but it didnt help. Any Suggestions.
thanks

So, does any >body know of a printer it is compatable with. dredging back in my memory to my cp/m days, i believe that this printer emulated a diablo 630. but the daisywriter is *very* slow (about 10cps), so i can't understand why you would want to use it as a net printer. if it's a parallel printer, you may have to set the capture timeout alittle higher. if it's a serial printer and you have buffer overruns, make sure that your serial port is using the same protocol as teh printer. chances are, the printer is set for xon/xoff on the port is set for some type of hardware handshaking. if i remember, some models of the daisywriter had fairly large buffers for that period, like 4k. ================================================================================ dennis p. harris bitnet: jsdph@alaska.edu "The nation that controls magnetism controls the Universe." --- Diet Smith ================================================================================
