Hi all,
I recently opened a lat connection to an old line printer we use for
billing. We are presently moving from VMS to UNIX and I need to be able
to print to this printer. Well after digging through man pages and
whatnot I thought I found a solution.
here is the printcap entry:
lpa1|lp6:\
:br#9600:\
:ct=LAT:\
:fc#0177777:\
:fs#03:\
:if=/usr/lbin/pcfof +Cgeneric_text.pcf:\
:lf=/usr/adm/printers/lpa1:\
:lp=/dev/lat/631:\
:mx#0:\
:of=/usr/lbin/pcfof +Cgeneric_text.pcf:\
:pl#66:\
:pw#0:\
:rw:\
:sd=/usr/spool/printers/lpa1:\
:xc#0177777:\
:xf=/usr/lbin/xf:\
:xs#044000:
and I started up the port with:
latcp -A -p 631 -H DS01 -R 4
DS01 is the terminal server and the printer is attached to port 4
Well this worked just swimmingly for a while!
If I send it a print job it just sits in the spool going no where. If I
try and delete the lat entry it says it doesn't exist, if I try and add
it it says it's in use!
Does anybody have any ideas!!
TIA
