Postscript LN03 printcap help needed.

[Stephen Miller]

   Hello,
     
     My trouble concerns a LN03r (Postscript) printer running off of a
     DMB controller on an 8530, rev 2.0 Ultrix. This printer problem
     manifests itself when either several small files, or a single 
     large file are sent to it. At these times the printer appears to 
     be dropping data. My impression of the problem is that it is a 
     flow control problem. I have decreased the baud rate with limited
     improvements, still if the same 10 files are queued repeatedly ,
     occasionally only 5 will print. Here is the latest printcap we
     have tried for this printer:


ln03r|LN03 Laser/Postscript printer :\
  :lp=/dev/tty06:sd=/usr/spool/psln03m:br#9600:lf=/usr/adm/ps-errs:\
  :fc#017777777777:fs#0633:xc#017777777777:xs#0200000040:mx#0:sh:\
  :if=/usr/lib/adobef:

 Any suggestions will be appreciated 

 Thank You
