i am trying to connect a hp plotter 7475A to my sun 3/60 and run it
through a printer daemon on /dev/ttya i.e. lpr <plotter_file>
the plotter file is straight ascii text file and i have no problems
plotting about one page of commands. however the plotters error light
flashes through the entire process and aborts after a small portion of a
larger file. i believe the problem lies with the printcap entry but i
could be wrong.
here is my printcap entry:
hpp:\
:lp=/dev/ttya:sd=/usr/spool/hpp:\
:br#9600:fc#0177777:fs#0177413:tr=\f:
i would appreciate any information regarding the correct printcap entry or
other aspect of the hp plotter that i should know about.
thanks in advance
