I've got an Apple ImageWriter (an old serial nine-pin) printer which I want to get working with NetBSD. My connection to it is fine; I can use kermit to send text out to it. BUT I can't get NetBSD to print to it. The job just sits in the queue and not much else happens. I need to send at 9600 baud, eight data bits, one stop bit. Anyone out there got one of these working or know how I do it? I've played around with printcap for a while but I can't work out how to configue it for particular comms parameters. Any help would be much appreciated. Please reply via e-mail if possible. Pete. -- Pete Yandell pete@werple.mira.net.au Technical Director http://werple.mira.net.au/~pete Instant Information Ph. +61 3 349 1276 Fax. +61 3 349 2815
