As you have probably discovered by now, the Dataproduct web site is
strangely empty of any useful information or documentation about any of
their products.  Search the web further underlines the dearth of information
available on this product, suggesting that it is old, pre-Internet old.

I did find a few places that will sell you a manual, Google for lb615
manual.

Would there be a place, usually near the connector, that has dip switches?
This could be where you set up the rate.  I would guess the rate might be
9600 Baud by default, but that could have been changed.

Subject: [HP3000-L] LB615 printer assistance

Hello HP List,
We have purchased a used LB615 Dataproducts printer that we're trying 
to connect serially (RS232) to our HP3000 A400.  It powers up, 
appears to be accepting data but prints garbage (mostly question 
marks, with lots of line skips).

I have 2 other older LB600 printers working on a similar connection, 
all going through a DTC48; tried switching cables and ports - the 
'new' one still does not work.  It has been suggested that the Baud 
rate may be incorrect, or that the printer is configured for 
'Parallel' interface rather than serial.

Does anyone know how to configure this printer, maybe with a terminal 
hookup?  Or how to determine just what its config is?  Also - I need 
some review on NMMGR - how do I determine what the baud rate/Profile 
is for that port?  It's been awhile since I had to get into that 
program!

Thanks for all and any help,
--
