Has anyone got 'troff' to work with a laser printer, specifically the
HP Laserjet III?
I know that troff writes to /dev/cat, so I created this device special
file with the same major and minor numbers as those of my parallel port
device /dev/lp0 (using mknod). I then configured the printer to deal
with the new device name (using mkdev lp). When I print out stuff,
the printer spews out troff binary rather than text.
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
I have SCO Xenix 2.2.3, running on a 386 25 MHz m/c.
Thanks is advance.
