I know this is a bit off topic, but...

I'm trying to get an old LaserJet Series II (not LaserJet II)
printer to work. I know my printer cable is good since I've got
another printer with which I tested it on the same machine (so
I know the cable and parallel port work, and that printing works).
I also know that the printer was setup to use its serial port,
but I have no docs and the HP site is useless, so I can't figure
out how to change anything from its front pannel. Nothing esoteric
with the printer (no extra memory, no extra font cartridges).
Also no external setting to switch between serial and parallel.
The HP website makes no mention of it either so I'm assuming
it's supposed to automagically use either.

When I try to communicate with the printer, it doesn't react,
and the communication times out. I'm at a loss. Anyone have
any knowledge on how to set this beast properly?

Thanks!

Manu
