- I just hooked up my HP compatible laser to my a2232 serial board and
- I'm having some troubles with the buffer. It prints fine, but the
- serial device doesn't seem to flush the buffers after sending
- something to the printer, thus I don't get the full page. It's been
- set up using the printer prefs under 2.1, selecting the default unit
- number for the port etc. If I lower the buffer size to 512 it's
- better, but I still lose part of my page. Suggestions?? For those
- who are about to suggest running off the parallel port, it's in use by
- parnet to my 1200, and a switchbox/rebooting isn't an option, nor is
- purchasing a second parallel port. I'm sure it's something simple I'm
- overlooking, but I'll be damned if I can figure out what.
