to the help from the net. The info he put together for other soals braving
this task is as follows (I also pass on his heart-felt thanks to all
respondants):
1. Make a Data Communications Equipment to Data Transmission Equipment
cable by crossing pins 2 and 3, connecting pin 4 to 5 and 6 to 20
on the printer side, and running pins 1 and 7 straight through.
2. Check the set up of the LNO3R; here is what i used.
a. 4800 baud
b. 8 data bits.
c. Parity disabled.
d. XON/XOFF enabled.
e. Restraint normal.
3. Connect the printer to the SUN 4. i used the second serial port.
4. Edit the file /etc/printcap; the following printer capability
entry worked for me. One should not need to reboot after changing
the printcap file.
# Postscript printer driven by Transcript software.
