I'm looking for help in connecting an HP LaserJet+ to a Tower 32/600 running
system V.3.  When adding the printer in "va", it chooses the rawR gettydef for
the printer, but the HP is expecting 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, with XON
flow control.  I've tried working up my own gettydefs, but none have seemed to
work: the best one only printed the form feeds that were sent and ignored
characters. We know that the cable is okay and a terminal plugged in instead
of the printer works fine when set with the same communications parameters as
the HP.  The printer also works fine if you type at it from a terminal.  If
anyone has one of these printers working from a Tower, I'd appreciate hearing
how you have it configured.
