Hello - has anyone else had problems using netatalk to access a
NEC Silentwriter Model 95? I've been running netatalk 1.3 without
any other problems (including a number of other localtalk printers),
and the NEC printer does receive jobs from Macs on localtalk, but
whenever I try to print to it from a Sun, or access it more directly
using pap, I get the following message:
marzen% pap -p "Knight Lab" ~/pic/gnognus.ps
Trying 23190.233:128 ...
atp_rresp: Connection timed out
atp_rresp: Connection timed out
...
Over a year ago there was a discussion on this group about printers
which don't always send an EOF; I'm wondering if the problem I've
encountered is a similar handshaking problem. The Silentwriter is
also supposed to be able to attend to localtalk and serial/parallel
connections at the same time; maybe it's getting confused...
(I didn't find anything relevant on the netatalk mail archive.)
Thanks for your help!
