1688.0. "AMIGA -> LN03R ??" by SHIRE::GANGUILLET () Thu Sep 15 1988 07:50

    Hello,
    
    
    I'm trying to print Professional Page postscript files
    to a LN03R directly connected to my Amiga 1000
    
    I've connected the printer through the serial port of the
    Amiga, when I want to print it seems to be all right
    the printer says busy, but nothing comes out !
    
    Is there a particular set up to use i.e.: Handshacking,
    Xon-Xoff, or a switch to change inside the LN03R ?
    
    Or maybee it's only the cable ?
    
    Any advice ?, thanks in advance 
    
    E.G.

I've seen a standard LN03 do that on a single page of info. You need to send a
FF (Form Feed) to eject the page. Postscript? I don't know.

I've just found the solution: 
    The baud rate was 4800 on the printer and 9600 on the Amiga !
    
    Thanks

    An LN03R will take several minute to create a PostScript page. Did
    you wait long enough? Also, you should see the lightning bolt and
    the number '6' on the LN03R while the file is printing.
