Greetings:
I'm having difficulties identifying which device file to use for the
DB25 (25-pin) serial port on the back of the 3000/600. I'm attempting
(possibly foolishly) to hook my Apple LaserWriter Select360 to my machine
via a serial connection. I've created a printcap file entry that I think
will work but to no avail so far. I believe the problem centers around
two issues: 1) which "tty" file controls the port I'm trying to use, and
2) which filter to use for the "if" entry of the printcap file.
Here is a copy of the printcap entry:
apple360|lp0|laserwriter360:\
:af=/usr/adm/lpacct:\
:br#9600:\
:ct=dev:\
:fc#0177777:\
:fs#023:\
:if=/usr/lbin/ln07rof:\
:lf=/usr/adm/lperr:\
:lp=/dev/tty00:\
:mx#0:\
:of=/usr/lbin/ln07rof:\
:pl#66:\
:pw#80:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/apple360:\
:xc#0177777:\
:xf=/usr/lbin/xf:\
:xs#044000:
If I'm silly for thinking I could do what I'm attempting or if you can
shed any light on the matter from experience or (better yet!) from actual
knowledge, then I would be most grateful!
An appropriate and timely summary will, of course, be posted.
Many thanks
