for the benefit of anyone (like me) migrating from 3000 to 9000: in my original post/plea, i was having trouble with printing forms on a HP2635 using a 9000/835S (3.1). colin's suggestion that we check the dip switches to change form enq/acq to xon/xoff was right on the money... thanks, colin! shoulda thunk it myself!

There was a movement that started at least 12 years ago to get rid of switches and straps in hp gear. I do not know whether the 2635* terminal has an excessive # of switches/straps, or whether you've already checked any that exist against what the manual sez... Another dumb thing is that we used to have enq/ack handshakes for terminals but once we got to the s800 i think, we quit supporting that. if the 2635 has an option to use xon/xoff vs enq/ack, that might be another thing worth investigating. hope this helps ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Unless explicitly stated otherwise, opinions expressed above are my own and do not explicitly reflect those of the Hewlett-Packard Company or any other person or entity. collin park Hewlett-Packard Company collin%hpda@hplabs.hp.com 19420 Homestead Road -- MS 43LT Cupertino, CA 95014 USA
