    Hi,
    
    	I've a customer who wants to use old Declaser 2150 (postscript)
    	connected to the parallel port of a Alphaserver 1000 running
    	Digital Unix v4.0A.
    
	He isn't able to obtain a print, either with a cat fic.ps > /dev/lp0
	The printer data LED blinks.. processing.. and then nothing.= ready
    
    	A print via a terminal server (LAT) and serial port is Ok.
    
    	The parallel cable was changed.
    
    	Does soneone succeeded to print on a postscript Declaser 2150 via
    	the parallel port from Digital Unix ?  
    
   Thanks for advices,
    
    	Manuel.
