  Connecting parallel printer to OpenVMS? (LP37) 
 The Question is:
 
Can I use the com2 serial port to connect a printer?  I wanted to connect an
old lp37 digital printer that use to be connected to our vax.  If the answer
is yet what is the device name or how do I set the printer up in vms?  What
type of cable can I use?
 
 
 The Answer is:
 
  You will require a local or served parallel interface, as most LP37
  printers require a parallel connection -- COM2 is a serial port, not
  a parallel port.  A DECserver 250 is one possibility, since you are
  working with older gear -- this is a network device that provides a
  connection to a parallel printer.
