Message-ID: <737@utcs.UUCP> Date: Tue, 9-Jul-85 11:28:43 EDT Article-I.D.: utcs.737 Posted: Tue Jul 9 11:28:43 1985 Date-Received: Tue, 9-Jul-85 12:20:11 EDT Organization: University of Toronto - General Purpose UNIX Lines: 19 Xref: utcs net.micro:10630 net.micro.pc:4462 Waiting for an HP plotter to complete its work gets very frustrating, but the only serial port buffers I've come across handle character output to a printer. With Quadram's QSPOOLSR for example, output to the plotter does not seem to be picked up by the buffer. Does anybody out there know of a SOFTWARE spooler/buffer to hold output to a plotter? Anyone been successful in using Quadram's QSPOOLSR to do this? I`m using an IBM PC hooked up to a Hewlett Packard 7475A Plotter. Please mail any information and if there's enough interest I'll post a summary.
