HELP.......I can't seem to get a functional QMS ps 800II printer to work
correctly on our ALMII board's parallel port. The printer doesn't seem to
have any problems because it works fine on another system.  When we hooked
it up to the SUN 4/280 and tried to cat a postscript file to it, we got a
blinking light from the printer  with no other response.  When using the
serial line on the printer along with a datascope, we found an issued
error msg from the printer: "error io..flushing".  Please email any advice
you have on how we can get this printer working....

The SUN COLDLINE is, as usual, less than helpful.

email to: UUCP: uunet!rti.rti.org!bnrunix!jao

Thanks...
