The printer I am using is a Printronix 300 with a serial interface. My problem, the printer uses XON/XOFF to control flow but the `PRINT' command on the IBM does not use XON/XOFF. I am currently using a terminal emulator that can send text files with flow control but would like to print my files with a background process like `PRINT'. Anybody got any suggestions? -- Tim Lange Engineering Business Offices 317-494-5338 Rm 120 Engineering Administration Bldg.
