We have an ancient Symbolics LGP-1 laser printer (serial number 2!)
with what I suspect is correspondingly old (version 1E) firmware.
RS232 flow control does not work.  The printer freezes up when sent
the output of "dvi2lgp" from a TeX'd document.  There are other problems.

The rep I talked to at Symbolics was not able to answer my questions,
and he's stopped returning my phone calls.  So much for the "front door".

o  Is there a more recent version of the LGP-1 firmware than version 1E?
   How can I get it?

o  Does anyone have a DR11-C driver for the LGP-1, for 4.2bsd?

Despite its funny behaviour and even funnier smells, I've fallen
in love with the thing.  Sure would be neat to get it working....


Thanks!
