I'm experiencing problems printing to a LWIIg printer connected serially to a Sun Sparc. Other LWIIg's i've hooked up have not had this problem. We're using Transcript software, currently version 3.0. What would you assume about an Apple LaserWriter IIg w/ 2M of memory that prints one page of "man -t xfig" (a 10-page manual) then barfs with an error (from the log): pstf: mercedes.engr.utk.edu:gonzalez lw start - Wed Jan 20 10:33:16 1993 psdman: mercedes.engr.utk.edu:gonzalez lw start - Wed Jan 20 10:33:16 1993 %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: setpagedevice ]%%^M %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%^M pstf: end - Wed Jan 20 10:34:06 1993 hooked onto /dev/ttyb. 9600 baud. Same TranScript installation that is on other sparcs with LWIIg hooked serially which works. could this a problem with ROM set 1.0? How do i find out what ROM version is in this puppy? Also, i'm using a printer description file called APLWIIg. should i be using a different one? Thanks for any help. Kim Snyder
