My problem is adding an Apple laser writer to a SUN 3/140, by use of a
serial port. But it doesn't work. Below are the steps of the procedure
that I followed, what's wrong ? :
1- Cable connection
SUN 3/140 Apple laser writer
2---------------------------------------------3
3---------------------------------------------2
7---------------------------------------------7
2- Laser writer configuration
8 data bits, no parity, 2 stop bits
external switch psitionned on "9600"
ON/OFF cycle for resetting
3- init(8) must not create a login process on the port used for the laser
writer
Editing of the /etc/ttytab file, status field on "off".
4- Sending of a postsript file over the tty line to the printer
HOSTNAME# (stty 9600 -parenb cread ixon cstopb clocal; cat postsc) >
/dev/ttya
