From: rna!dan@nyu.arpa (Dan Ts'o) Hi, Does anyone know the state of QMS's promise to outfit 1200's with a second serial line for printer status inquires and reports ? Anyone have a decent way of keeping track of fonts and downtimes ? Thanks. Cheers, Dan Ts'o Dept. Neurobiology Rockefeller Univ. 1230 York Ave. NY, NY 10021 212-570-7671 ...cmcl2!rna!dan

From: Bruce Nemnich <godot!bruce@cca-unix> We have the beta-test firmware which gives one a "reverse channel" serial line for communication from the printer to the host. There is a new QUIC ^INFO command for requesting various status information, including available memory, whether a given font is downloaded, etc. I have incorporated support for it in my DVI filter and it has worked well during the two weeks I have had it. I presume the firmware will be released soon. --bruce
