Yesterday, I received a HP3si laser printer to evaluate.
I'm presently playing with various printcap entries.
I was able to lpr files but it seems to get confused after
the first file and forgets about page breaks and simply
attaches file2 to file3 etc etc.
I was able , via escape codes, to get the duplex mode to work
ok. Also was able to make the PostScript mode to work with
PostScript files as long as I *MANUALLY* set up in PostScript
from the front panel.
NOTE: Duplex mode has the same problem as simplex on the
files being appended to each other but did work from
software (escape codes etc )
So far, I have not been able to software switch between PCL and
PostScript.
What does "ROBUST" mean for a handshake option?
I've been using XonXoff.
I am using a Sun SS1 with 4.1.1 and ttyb to drive this.
Does *ANYBODY* out there have any experience with this printer
and/or could offer any comments / suggestions etc.
*ANY* comments / suggestions would be *MOST* welcome.
Any printcap files available ?
Is 19200 baud the upper limit for the SS1 ?
Thanks in advance.
