Subject: -16- Can I use the serial port for HP printers with
Impressario?
Date: 12 Jun 1997 00:00:01 EST
No. Only builtin parallel ports (and in some cases, an HP JetDirect
interface) can be used. Note that some older SGI systems do not have a
builtin parallel port.
The hinv(1M) command can be used to see if the system has a parallel
port.
Also, the 8-pin "serial" port on newer HP printers is *not* compatible with
any SGI workstation or server. The port is used for LocalTalk connections to
Macintosh computers.
