Hi all,

I'm trying to connect a parallel printer (HP DeskJet 1200C/PS) to an
AlphaStation 400 4/233 (running OSF/1 V3.2).

lpq always says "waiting for PRINTER to become ready (offline ?)".
Of course the printer is online and the cable is connected properly.

The SPD says parallel printers are supported when a parallel port exists.
Am I missing something??

Btw: on a DECstation 2000/500 this works fine.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
