You may want to check the printers to make sure they are setup for XON/XOFF and not DTR or CTS hardward handshaking. We have had problems with this in the past. You also would normally not be using normal terminal configurations for a printer since it will not have a login. -- >.. CCS Enterprises, Inc. .. Bob Willey, CDP ..< >.. P.O.
