kusumoto@chsun1.uchicago.edu (Bob Kusumoto) suggested using Transcript to solve a communications problem. I think you're missing the point, Bob. Transcript won't work until one has a solid serial communication channel. The best way to get this working is to use a terminal emulator like tip or kermit to talk to the printer. Only after this works does one have any chance of making Transcript work. As Don Lancaster likes to point out, you should use a terminal emulator with an ASCII upload capability to send PS files from PC's and Apple II's, since you then get to see the backchannel traffic (ie. error messages, output from print and ==, etc.). On a Unix box, this info is usually just redirected into a log file somewhere. Ken (shiva@well.sf.ca.us)
