This is a command local to the DECserver. It has
nothing to do with the VMS system at all.

If the printer can accept plain text it should write
lines with "ABCDEF........"

Has this worked before?
If so, you have some problem with the wiring, baudrate or similar.

So the printer *does* react on the print at all !?
Not by printing, but by blinking some LED (?).

This also points to some setup error. Baudrate or similar.
