4685.0. "Need LA100 Graphics Printer Driver" by HOTAIR::OMALLEY (Order Number: VMS4EVER) Wed Apr 17 1991 16:57

    
    I'm looking for a printer driver for an la100 and WB 1.3.  I have a
    copy of MYLA50 from CRISTA. The readme. indicates it will do graphics,
    however, it does not do a thing for me.  Does the code need to be
    rebuilt?  I don't have a `C' compiler.  Is there a working driver I can
    con from somebody?

    Thanks in advance,
    	...Mike

4685.1Worked with 1.2 serial.deviceCSC32::A_ANDERSONDTN 592-4170 NSU/VAXWed Apr 17 1991 17:3010
    Its been a long time but I used to have a LA50.  After 1.3 came out the
    LA50 driver failed to function.  I had to use the Serial.device from
    1.2.  Then it worked, but not with all the bells and whistles that 1.3
    brought to the printers.  I ended up buying a NX1000.  You might try
    renaming the 1.3 serial.device to something else and place the 1.2
    version in its place.
    
    I lost track of whether the driver was ever upgraded.

    From memory, I think you need Printer.Device from WB 1.2 and all should
    be well.

4685.3Anything like an LA75?AISG::LANDINGHAMGuy M., DLB5-3/E5, 291-9268Thu Apr 18 1991 14:082
I don't have any info on an LA100, but if it's anything like the LA75, try the
LA75 driver(s) mentioned a few notes back.  Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the info.

    RE: la50 driver and WB 1.2 driver
    	I never had 1.2, the machine came with WB1.3, so I don't have an
        old driver.

    RE: la75 driver mentioned a few notes back
    	This driver works fine for text, however, it uses the IBM emulation
        mode to print graphics. Not an option for the la100

    Guess i'll just wait for somebody to hack up a native mode graphics
    driver for the la series printers and WB1.3.

    thanks,
    	...Mike
