If anyone has succeeded in getting these two to work together, I'd
appreciate hearing from you. Although the 4692 is listed as a supported
printer in the software (and has its own filter), a call to the
hotline informed me that there is a hardware incompatibility with
Tektronix' Centronics implementation. On other Irises (not PIs) switching
a resistor pack on the parallel board does the trick, but apparently the
PI works differently. My soldering iron is ready to go, stop me before
I kill again!

I am using a friend's account, so if using email respond to
