help.. I am in way over my head !!!!
my boss has done it again
I have been sent to fix a unix issue
and I ma hoping you can help
three issues
1st. I have a printer that when you try to print to it the print job comes out on a diffrent printer. If I take the printer ( dot matrix thourgh a serail connection) to a diffrent local the print job does not come out anywhere. if I put a good printer in the bad printers spot nothing happens either. we now have a new printer with a new serail interface card and a blank adpater for me to pin out if I can figure out the pinout needed from a diffrent printer to convert the serail to an rj45 plug.
2nd. I have a termianl that will not connect to the server (wyse 50) The client has purchased a new terminal but we have not installed any of the new equipment yet. the term lights up and you can interact with its interface but not the network
3rd. the client told me that the last tech had done something in the server itself to slow down some connections and speed up others unfortunatly the ones he slowed down are now the ones they needed sped up. and I have NO idea how to do this
I am not sure what version of unix this is I think it is ver. 8 if that sounds right it is about 2 years old.
any help would put me forever in your debt. (if your ever in the Atlantic city area I'd buy you lunch =:-) )
