I have a vs3500 using VMS 5.1 and DECwindows, I am having problems
connecting an LJ250 to my CSA0 port, all i ever get is ????'s output.
Has anyone got an LJ250 working from the CSA0 port of a VS3500?
If so could you please reply with your CSA0 terminal setup, and
the commands that you used to setup your printer queue.
Thanks
Bob

speed problem, fixed by removing CPU cover and changing Baud rate
to suit printer...

I have a VAXstation 3100 and am using an LJ250 as a locally queued printer, connected to the port with the printer icon on the back of the box (I think it's TTA3:). The problem I am having is that any lowercase characters print things like the little horizontal tab and linefeed signs like you see if you do a GOLD-V in WPS. Am I doing something stupid? | |||||

Well, your LJ250 is using the VT100 (a.k.a. DEC Special) Line
Drawing set instead of ASCII. The sequence that invokes the
former into G0 (where ASCII "belongs") is <esc>(0 and the one
for the latter is <esc>(B . Or you might be getting an <esc>n
or an <esc>o , which (respectively) pull G2 or G3 into GL. If
you can't find it, you at least can fix it with:
<esc>(B<cntrl>O
to put ASCII back in place.
