I just got a loaner PS laser printer for a trial run and I can't get
UNIX (i.e., Microport V/386 3.0e) to make it print.  It's installed as a
dumb parallel printer on the port where previously I had my dumb
parallel dot matrix printer.  echo hello ^L > /dev/lp does nothing.  The
only thing that works is from inside DOSMerge/WordStar 2000 -- I can get
it to print the printer description file contents.  (But I can't get WS2K
to find the initialization file so that I can print WS2K files!)

What have I stupidly omitted from this process???

Many thanks.

Pete
