1196.0. "Atari ST1040 <-> LN06 (Declaser 2200)" by DECAUX::GRISU1::EGERT (Etsch_on_his_GPX) Fri Oct 18 1991 13:26

Hi All,

I will use a LN06 Laser-Printer on my 1040ST and have
some Troubles to bring it up.
I use the Parallel-interface and all i got is groumble.
Is there any special or have anyone done it yet and if so
what Application do you use ????
Is the LN06 Hp laserjet compatible ????

I already set the LN06 Setup-Interface to parallel and use 
HP-Laserjet Driver if available .

1196.1	LN06 is PostScript?	PRNSYS::LOMICKAJ	Jeffrey A. Lomicka	`Sat Oct 19 1991 22:56`	14
	I thought LN06 was a PostScript printer? Try printing the following, and preceed it with a Control-D. If you get a page that says "Hello World", you have a PostScript printer. I have a pretty good tool for printing text files on it. Let me know and I'll upload it. I don't have a PostScript print-screen, as I do my print-screens with my LaserJET IIP in HP mode. PostScript printers work great with PageStream! 200 200 moveto /Helvetica findfont 20 scalefont set font (Hello World!) show showpage
1196.2	LN06 is not Post-script by default	DECAUX::GRISU1::EGERT	Etsch_on_his_GPX	`Sun Oct 20 1991 12:09`	22
	Hi Jeff, Thanx for the prompt reply, but my LN06 do not have the PS-Cartridge witch makes them to a PS-Printer, it's only a normal Laser-printer with Duplex (both sides of paper). I had recently some success with an "IBM PC Graphics Printer" Driver so i was able to print simple Text without Attributes like Bold etc.(from within 1.Word Plus) If i include .IMG Pictures to the 1.Word-Document the output is groumble. So one Solution could be to have an Acc to screen-dump Graphics (if i have the Desktop-Menubar) or a Driver that could be used with the LN06 (DEClaser 2200). Btw the User-Guide of the Printer doesnot say anything about the Type of Emulation like HP Laserjet or something equal. mfg Chris ( hope someone can help)
1196.3	Sixel?	VFOVAX::PATTERSON	The world is flat, it's the universe thats round	`Sun Oct 20 1991 14:59`	9
	> but my LN06 do not have the PS-Cartridge witch > makes them to a PS-Printer, it's only a normal I would guess it is like the LN03, so it should do sixel. If it turns out to be sixel, it shouldn't be all that hard to\ write a sixel screen dump routine. Jim
1196.4	PRNSYS::DUA2:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST]PSLA50.*	PRNSYS::LOMICKAJ	Jeffrey A. Lomicka	`Tue Oct 22 1991 13:39`	1
	Try my rpogram PSLA50 and see if it does anything even slightly reasonable.
1196.5	Does it work with GEMINI V1.2	DECAUX::GRISU1::EGERT	Etsch_on_his_GPX	`Thu Nov 14 1991 06:45`	14
	Hi Jeff, Thanx for your Reply - I've tried your ACC but i use GEMINI as my Desktop Application and it seem to operate not corectly with the GEMDOS supplied with Gemini. When i install the ACC it appears in the Menu-bar as it should. Then i pull-down the Entry and got a Cross - to select the Area witch should be converted and if i release the Mouse-button nothing happens. So what do this tool normaly produce at this point - a file or a printout at the parallel-port ??? greetings Chris .
1196.6	Hmmm.	PRNSYS::LOMICKAJ	Jeffrey A. Lomicka	`Thu Nov 14 1991 08:58`	3
	I think it produces print-out on the SERIAL port. I haven't used it in years. Also, ALT-HELP should do a PRINT-SCREEN. I will double chek the configuratio and upload something for which I KNOW what it does.
