Thanks for the update that's what I was figured would be the answer. The
S-bus card was a surprise, now I have to go on the hunt.  Thanks again  John

SPAREprinter model QA-6, anyone know how to do a self
 print test on this unit I can not find any buttons or anything; 
It will not do much unless you have it connected to a SPARCstation running
NeWSprint. The SPARCstation also requires a special S-bus card to
interface to the printer.
In other words, you have either a worthless printer, or a good excuse to
go get yourself a SPARCstation.
