Original question:
>>How do I find out the type of interface my SPRACprinter uses?
>>Serial or Parallel?
"The SPARCprinter uses a special video interface (lpvi). It
is neither serial or parallel.
Won't work. Of course, you can put the Sparcstation the printer
is attached to on the net. The printer needs a sparcstation
in order to function, since it is simply a raster imaging engine.
All the rasterization is done on the workstation, and sent as a
video image to the printer." - Ken Erickson
"If it's the SPARCprinter II, it uses the
parallel port on Sun's, but I won't guarantee that it's being used like
a standard parallel port...." - Birger Wathane
