Problem
Solutions: When using a PostScript printer a file can be created and sent to the printer which will instruct the printer to print out their serial settings and other information such as the baud, xon/xoff etc. This file has been found to work on the NEC Silentwriter LC-890, IBM 4019 Laserprinter, Brother HL-8PS and the PostScript cartridge for the HP LaserJet IID. The file consists of: /helvetica findfont 14 scalefont setfont /cr{show 182 currentpoint 20 sub exch pop moveto}def /tb{show 300 currentpoint exch pop moveto}def /which{5 -1 roll 4 exch sub -1 roll cr 3{pop}repeat}def statusdict begin 25 sccbatch end 182 650 moveto exch (baud :)tb 10 string cvs cr (parity:)tb dup 30 bitshift -30 bitshift (none-space)(odd)(even)(non-mark) which (handshake:)tb dup 27 bitshift -29 bitshift (xon/xoff)(dsr/drt)(etx/ack)(bad value) which (data bits:)tb dup 25 bitshift -30 bitshift (standard)(7)(8)(bad value) which (stop bits:)tb -7 bitshift 0 eq{(1)}{(@)}ifelse show showpage ^D^Z This text can be saved in a DOS text format under any name.
