I want to set up a dot matrix printer from an IBM 3151 terminal for slave printing. I have it hooked up to the Auxilary port on the terminal.The serial parameters are the same config in the terminal and the printer. The serial printer interface is good. However, when I hit "print screen" it doesn't print. (It will print from my laptop serially.) Also, I'm assuming that I should use a regular serial cable and not a null modem cable correct? Any ideas why this isn't working? Is there anything else I have to do?
