Provided the dip switches have not been changed, then just power it up,
it will print a status page that tells what language it is set to use,
what port, and the page count. (IIRC, one of the dip switches can
disable this test page at power on)
No one remember which dip controled this? Actually, anyone know if the
manual is online somewhere?

interface to a straight PC? If the DB-25 is RS-232, I'd

Yes over the DB25, but it tops out at 9600 bps, so it is SLOW to print.
Or get my hands on a ethernet / appletalk print server. Or turn a Mac
into one.

readily available?
Last time I bought one, they were going for around $45 for a 6000 page
cart.
Excellent.
