setting up printer port for LA100 on Ultrix

[jay dubb]

   I am posting this for a friend of mine who doesn't have access
to USENET, so please respond directly to mlevin at jade.tufts.edu.

   I think my first message didn't make it, so I'll try again. I am
new to managing my own Ultrix 4.1 VaxStation II/RC; maybe someone can
help me set up a printer port. I did Makedev /dev/ttycp, and now use
the console port in the back of the workstation as a modem port,
connected to a DEC Scholar 2400 modem. I use kermit, and everything
works fine. I am wondering if I can also use the same physical port
(by simply switching cables) as a printer port for an LA100. Can this
be done, or will setting it up as a printer port cause me to not be
able to use the modem any more? If it can be done, where should
I look (I have minimal documentation) as regards setting up the
printer port? DecWrite for one complains that I am missing a "printer
description file". What utility should I use to configure the port?
Thanks in advance.
