IBM Proprinter III Guess what ! the Proprinter has a driver in ghostscript. So a recompile of ghostscript and you can print graphics easy. I have an even older printer. Star np-10 which uses the proprinter driver. So you can try some of the epson drivers. Is the proprinter 9 pin or 24 ? And the printer is a dot matrix. <A HREF="http://theverge.com"><A HREF="http://theverge.com</A">http://theverge.com</A</A>> On Thu, 3 Dec 1998, zentara wrote:

Hi all, I have this old printer IBM Proprinter III (i don't know the english word for a printer which is not inkjet nor laserjet nor bubblejet...) and I would like to use it to print the source of my programs. How can I configure the printer device in order to use it? YaST seems to manage only "more evolute" printers. Any help would be very appreciated.
You should be able to use it as a plain old text-mode printer, with no graphics.
Try " cat somefile.txt > /dev/lp1 "
that will work as root, then you can chmod /dev/lp1 to give users rights.
You could also try to set up the print queue, with the printer as a generic dos-mode printer. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
