906.0. "Incomplete printouts" by KYPROS::NICOLAOU () Thu Jan 30 1997 16:27

    I recently connected a Citizen Swift 90C serial printer on a Digital Alpha
    server 400 4/233 running Digital Unix v3.2D1.
    Unfortunately i can not print large files. In particular there is no
    way that i can print the whole of /etc/termcap. The queue empties but
    the printer never reaches the end of my printout.
    I've tried all of the emulations from the lprsetup but none of them
    worked. 
    On the same port an LA75 works fine .
    My guest is that it has something to do with filters.
    
    Any Suggestions?

	Check the hardware settings on the Citizen printer and make sure it is using xon/xoff flow control.
906.2	Xon/Xoff	KYPROS::NICOLAOU	`Thu Jan 30 1997 17:46`	3
	I did check the hardware settings , and it is using Xon/Xoff. Thanx
