The printer here has been running for a year and a half with
no attention other than replacing expendable parts (some of them
EXPENSIVE).
All I had to do to get it going was
0) Unpack the printer and plug it in.
1) Put in the correct diskette.
2) Change one of the DIP switches.
3) Run `devices' to tell the system that I had a printer, not a
terminal, on the serial line.
I fussed with the /etc/qconfig file a bit, but I think that the
stanza `devices' installed would have worked unchanged.
