2166.0. "Rainbow and LN03 drivers" by MSBIS1::LANDINGHAM (Guy M.,BXB1-1/F11,293-5297) Sat Jan 28 1989 18:19

    I have two new printer driver sets which I'll upload if anyone's
    interested.  They are:
    
    	star_rainbow.arc - contains two versions of a driver for the
    	  rainbow: the first is 1-pass and the second makes 2 passes
          for each color for better saturation
    
        PrtDrivers.zoo - from ff164, two drivers, one is for a Mannesman-
          Tally (sp?) and the other for an LN03+.  I haven't had a chance
          to test the LN03+ driver yet on my wife's printer :-)
    
    Again, if anyone's interested I'll upload...just tell me where to
    put them.

2166.7LN03 setup help?MSBIS2::LANDINGHAMGuy M.,BXB1-1/F11,293-5297Tue Feb 07 1989 03:3412
    Well, I tried out the LN03+ driver with my wife's LN03...it didn't
    work very well.  Although it would print plain text files, it wouldn't
    print out a page until I pressed the ON/OFF LINE button twice (as
    per the little booklet on top, the panel was flashing a "6").  I
    could not print out any graphics at all.
    
    If anyone else gets this to work, would you be good enough to post
    your setup (Preferences serial port settings, LN03 DIP switch
    positions, etc.)?   We don't have any manuals for the LN03 we're
    using...
    
    Thanks!

LN03's do that if the last page has no Form Feed to "eject" if from the printer.

    a flashing six can also indicate fonts being loaded....
    
    a solid six indicates potential controller problems...
