Printing Volume Catalogs with a Nanopeb

[Fonzie]

What is the easiest way to get printed copies of volume catalogs if TI-print will not work with my printer? My HP 5500 AIO printer only prints rows of Xs for a catalog request. Can the nanopeb print directly to a TI serial printer?

 

I tried connecting my TI-99/4 serial printer (PHP2500) to my nanopeb using combinations of straight and null modem cables and adapters but have not been successful so far. I have a big assortment of TI equipment, 2 pebs, 2 nanos, a 9900 MES, Lotharek, consoles, cassette recorders, pio printers, modems, cables, adapters, etc. If I desperately wanted a nanopeb printed catalog, I use cfhdx to send files to my pc where I can take a snap and print a copy.

 

Surely, there must be a simpler less convoluted way. Suggestions.
