# Has anybody seen any device drivers for DEC printers? We have a couple that
# are being used around the net, but I had to fool prsvr into thinking that they
# are GE printers. None of the other supported device drivers will work on the
# DEC LA100s for some reason. The main problem with the GE driver is that it
# sends only LF's to the printer, not CR/LF. This can be fixed after prsvr has
# started and has printed the first couple lines with 'tctl -line # -cvt_nl',
# but this never seems to work, unless typed by hand. ( The server hasn't had
# time to start by the end of startup.xxx script, thus the tctl command dies
# because the file /dev/sio# is in use. After prsvr has been initialized,
# the command works fine (ie sit there and type it in by hand every time).
----------------------------
I would suggest the following line in your startup file:
cps /com/sh -n <taskname> tctl -line <n> -cvt_nl;prsvr /sys/print/<config_file>
