Aloha from Hawaii, I'm going on the second day playing with this elderly beast of a printer. I was wondering if any kind soul had had the joy of trying to set one of these up on a FreeBSD box and might have a printcap file around and or some suggestions as to the best way to connect it. I've got the printer hooked up to /dev/cuaa0 and set to 9600 baud...but all I get from the printer is the evil startup page and little blinky lights that go on for days..I've tryed null cables non-null cables..both ports on the LaserWriter and setting the printer to differt speeds / whatever Special and Appletalk really mean....so any help would be great..
