Title: Problems with Tandy DMP Parallel Printers on 3Stations
date: 12/5/89

Copyright 3Com Corporation, 1991.  All rights reserved.

Several problems have been reported about Tandy DMP parallel
printers connected to 3Stations, 3Station/2Es and 3Station/2Xs.
Errors include garbled printing or no printing at all.  The problems
appear no matter what application is being used, or even when files
are typed directly at the DOS prompt to the printer.

To solve the problems, swap the Tandy cable with a 100% IBM-compatible
parallel printer cable.  The parallel printer cable Tandy supplies is
not truly IBM compatible.  (Not all of the grounding signals are connected
the same.)
