HDX1.PRINTER - no joy

[aftyde]

Hi All,

 

Quick question. I have the HDX1 serial card mod. All works great. Sudden need to print from the TI... So, pointed the HDX server software at the directory where ti99print resides and gave it a whirl. After an hour, still can't seem to figure it out. Can anyone offer some tips on how to configure and set it up. The HDX docs say it will just work through a software connection to ti99print, and I can see the records being written to <PRINT> on the HDX server app when I print. But nothing appears in the ti99print window.

 

Basically... out of ideas on how to troubleshoot the thing.

 

ti99print config is set to serial line 3 and GEEN (whatever that means)

 

Any ideas?

 

Cheers, Arthur...

What program are you printing from? BASIC, WRITER, etc?

Fails from TI Basic, and TI-Base. I had it working with TI-Base years ago. Can't imagine what I am doing wrong. HDX is clearly receiving the data. Just not passing it along to ti99print.

Many issues with HDX can be solved by reloading the DSR with the HDX232LOAD utility program. Give it a shot and see.

Try this as a test

 

Write a test program in BASIC, then:

 

LIST "RS232.BA=2400.DA=8.PA=N"

 

That will tell us some stuff

Hi,

 

which versions are you using ?

 

My TI99Print is v1.1a 20040408, and my TI99HDX is v9.1a 20171020.

 

They do correspondent (!) (but I don´t know if I have the newest combination here).

 

Is your printer-folder setup correctly and the "service" started ?

This BOTH happens in the TI99HDX options-menu (not in TI99Print)

8.1a and the 2004 version of print. If you could check your settings and let me know what they are, that would help.

 

I would consider reloading the DSR except the HDX server is receiving the print data on the Windows machine as it did before. Although, never hurts to be sure.

 

It’s also a Win 10 machine, so maybe there is some IPC library that has changed to the point where this no longer works on modern machines. Settings and a screen shot of what I should expect to see in ti99print would also be a big help since I don’t know what normal and working looks like.

 

Really appreciate the ideas!

works fine here

did you start tiprint from within hdx?

 

click options, start tiprint

 

tiprint needs to be hooked to the hdx line not the serial port, starting it there works
