I'm trying to get an old LaserJet Series II (not LaserJet II) printer to work. I know my printer cable is good since I've got another printer with which I tested it on the same machine (so I know the cable and parallel port work, and that printing works). I also know that the printer was setup to use its serial port, but I have no docs and the HP site is useless, so I can't figure out how to change anything from its front pannel. Nothing esoteric with the printer (no extra memory, no extra font cartridges). Also no external setting to switch between serial and parallel. The HP website makes no mention of it either so I'm assuming it's supposed to automagically use either. When I try to communicate with the printer, it doesn't react, and the communication times out. I'm at a loss. Anyone have any knowledge on how to set this beast properly? Thanks!
