i am the proud owner of a personal pageprinter, model 4216. this odd beast wants to have a postscript interpreter downloaded into its controller board. according the the 4.3 documentation, the interpreter code is supposed to live in /usr/lib/pp4216/ppsadapt.mod, but it did not come with the latest version of 4.3 bsd (december 88). does anyone have a copy of ppsadapt.mod? if so, how did you get it? did you buy it? do you know the part number? peter

It has the microcode included in it. All you need to do is put it in /usr/lib/pp4216, run: 'ldps /usr/lib/pp4216/ppsadapt.mod', and set: use_pp4216="yes" in /etc/rc.config, so it'll get loaded when you re-boot. The fonts should have come with the Postscript card package. -- ---- ericm@ibmsupt.com {ucbvax,uunet}!ibmsupt!ericm
