          There are two pieces of information that would be helpful here.
          First, the termtype of "??" means that a termtype filename was given
          instead of a termtype number(which also actually references a termtype
          filename of TT##.PUB.SYS).  If we know what termtype filename was used
          or, more importantly, the characteristics of the termtype filename,
          then we may know a little more about how MPE expects the printer to
          act(e.g., will the printer respond to MPE status requests?   What
          parity, etc. does MPE think the printer is set at.)
 
          Second, you say it will not print but we need to know if there is an
          error being reported before it does not print, or does it just not do
          anything.  If the termtype file was created to do status requests,
          then you should be getting some sort of SPOOLEE I/O ERROR.  If the
          termtype file was based on TT18, then you may see nothing at all.
 
          Another possibility is since the 2934's top speed is 200 cps, then it
          may very well be set at 2400 baud.  Many of my customers did this to
          cut down on the chance of getting buffer overruns on the printer.
 
          Assuming the data connection is intact, I would guess parity or baud
          rate conflicts.
