This question is probably an oldie, but...

When I am switching emulation mode on my Texas Instrument TI2108 printer
e.g. from PS to HP-Laserjet mode the printer appears to be deaf and dumb for
a few seconds. I have the printer hooked up on a VAX/VMS printer queue with
appropriate definitions in the setup modules for switching between modes.
If one PostScript job is followed by a HP-Laserjet job, the initial part
of the last job never makes it to the paper :-(

Is there a bug in the TI2108 (and the TI2106 as well) making the printer
to loose the characters coming in while the emulation mode is switched?

And why isn't the thing CTRL-S:ing the serial line while being busy with it's
internal meditation?

Any info would be of value.

Thank you.
