Message-ID: <290@cmv.dsir.govt.nz> Date: 25 Jul 88 16:20:57 GMT Lines: 18 Organisation: DSIR, Christchuch, New Zealand HI, has anyone out there attached a Lazer writer directly to the printer port of their MAC Plus? I do not wish to purchase the APPLE Talk hardware but instead connect directly to the printer. If a single cable connection is possible will applications packages write directly to the printer if I make the appropriate CHOOSER settings or do I have to create a Postscript file and transfer it to the printer using a file transfer utility. What are the appropriate CHOOSER setting for such a configuration? I would like to know the following pin cabling connections so that the following cables can be constructed. Mini 8 to 25 pin RS232 Mini 8 to 9 pin RS422 Regards Bruce Muschamp. SRCHBGM%CMV%VUWCOMP@UUNET.UU.NET ( Bit net) SRCHBGM%CMV.DSIR.GOVT.NZ@UUNET.UU.NET (Internet)
