The last time I used one of those printers (early 80's) it took a while to make it work (on a Series III) and it never would work on a 48 {or vice-versa}. Finally solved the problem with a multiplexor - it was able to speak parity with a forked tonge. Good luck -- Tony B. Shepherd -- [log in to unmask]
