Has anyone been able to plug in and use an LN03 printer via the console 
port of a vaxstation running VMS 4.2/4.4 and workstation software V2.0?
The manual says in one place (Graphics Programmers Guide, 1.1.7) that
only LA50s or LA210 can be used. I tried an LN03 and the system hangs
when the device is powered on or off. I tried an LA34 and that worked.

Any help and/or patches would be appreciated.
