Hello Admin wizards,

is it possible to use an old 24needle Printer (IBM Proprinter) to the
parallel port of a DEC Alpha 1000/333 / True64 4.0f ?
It seems that the parallel port is not /dev/lp0 as I would have expected
from Linux, and rumor says, that this configuration would definitely not
work ... the advantage of the 24needler is the use of endless paper for
protocol printouts. Would be great, since we have tons of it... literally...

thx


YS, CW
