Hi,
I have a VT510 and a LA30N companion printer attached to our AS8400.
For a while now I have been trying to get the printer to print what is
on the screen of the terminal as and when it is displayed. So for
example if I wanted to have a hard copy record of a boot up the boot
up would be displayed on the screen and printed out on the printer at
the same time. I can get a screen dump by pressing print, but that is
a pain as it misses information and it isn't what I really want to
have to keep doing.

I havent been able to find anything in the VT510 or the printer
manuals that we have. Anyone got any information on how to do this.
We are using the parallel port on the printer and the monitor.

TIA
