Printronix printer - serial

[Martin Draper_1]

Hello

I have a Printronix printer currently networked to a SCO system. I need to port
it to my HPUX system and print from the HP spooler via a port.

Have defined it OK, and it prints but the output gets garbled after approx 10
lines.

I think additional stty settings are required.

Anybody got the stty settings to go into the script for this kind of printer?

Thanks in advance.

Martin

It would help to know which interface file you are using with this printer
(dumb, dumbplot, etc.)

I'll prefix this response with "Its been awhile since I did this"

I remember this problem - It was either baud rate of the printer - should be
set the same on the port (are you using dtcmanager, or ddfa?) Using dtcmanager
and a terminal controller, you should be able to control that.

Or it was the protocol - hardware control or software control - I think I had
better luck with XON/XOFF.


Good luck.

Still trying... to get the printronix to print.

Have used a variety of interfaces but concentrating on the dumbnoff (dumb no
form feed.)

I am sure there is a conflict between the stty settings and the printer
hardware set up.

Not sure which is the best way next ?

Thanks in advance
