I have made progress in getting the 9000-350 (HP-UX 7.0)
to talk to the printer (laserjet 3). I finished installing the
Transcript postscript interface code, so the lp spooler will
use it to talk to the printer.

I changed the device file (rs-232 built-in port) to
0x090004. This gets rid of the "cannot open device" message.
Now, the system thinks all is honky dory, but the printer just
sits idly by (with the message "postscript ready").

When the spooler receives the file, it runs a shell script that
opens the port, sets the right "stty" options, and calls a program
/usr/local/lib/ps/pscomm (with, among others, the file to print as args)
which is supposed to talk to the printer.
But, pscomm just runs and no action.

I have tried several fixes, to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

/Luis
