I have been having problems with connecting my IBM proprinter XL24 parallel port version to my IBM RT running AIX 2.2.1 Even though the printer supports a quite a few different modes and features the printer command and piobe backend are having problems understanding properly the different command switches. For example, the print -cdp command should put the printer in condensed print (16 cpi) mode. THis works on 4202 printers, and appears to be ignored for the 4208. I currently have the printer defined as a 4202 as there is no 'devices' command settings for the 4208 printer. The only other options for a parallel printer are as a 4201 or a 5152 printer. Any suggestions? OTher print modes are having problems as well, and are too numerious to go into gory detail here. Thanks. Mark Whetzel -- Mark Whetzel My comments are my own, not my company's.
