OK, so I've got a device with an RS-232 port, and it's expecting there
to be a laser printer on the other end of it.
If I connect this thing to COM1: on my PC, is there some way to capture
the data it's spewing out in a file? If I can do that, I should be able
to actually send the file to a printer. (It looks like it's attempting
to generate either PCL or PS, so this should work.)
I was hoping that just saying COPY COM1: File1 would work, but it doesn't.
According to the manual:
"Only hardware handshake (CTS/RTR) is supported. One start bit and one
stop bit are always used (not selectable). Default settings are
baud=9600, 8 data bits, no parity."
As best as I can tell, these are pretty much the default settings for a
PC COM port.
Google is no help. (It seems loads of people want to *do* this, but
nobody has a *solution*.)
