One of our users has recently bought an NCR 6436-0201 laser printer. This is the first laser printer we installed at our site - we attached it to a Tower 32/650, and got it working like a dumb line printer. We got two manuals with this printer - an Installation Manual and an Operation Manual. The documentation explains how to set hardware switches and how to load different emulations from cartridges (which we didn't get), but doesn't explain how the different emulations work, in particular the HP Laserjet+ (which is memory-resident). Obviously, one is intended to look at a Hewlett-Packard manual to know how this emulation can be used. I have downloaded some Laserjet filters and drivers from uunet, but they don't seem to work well - maybe the NCR emulation is not perfect, or perhaps the programs do not port correctly to a Tower 32/650 running Unix 2.01.01. Does anybody know how could I get some information on the HP Laserjet + emulation? Is there some NCR publication, or some non-NCR publication that could be obtained through NCR? If there is any public domain software available (besides what is on uunet!netlib), could anybody direct me to the source? I only get the ncr newsgroups here, so I am only aware of software in the netlib index - if somebody has something other than what's shown there, I'd appreciate having it posted to one of the ncr.sources newsgroup - or mail it to me and I'll get it posted if there is some interest. I will try to cross-post this to comp.periphs - please do not post answers there as I don't get this newsgroup on my machine. Thanks in advance. -- Gabriel Maranca <Gabriel.Maranca@ncrarg.BuenosAires.NCR.AR> NCR Argentina - ISS ...!uunet!ncrlnk!ncrarg!gmaranca Phone: [54-1]49-6671 Ext 273 6905-F-BP@CEMS

More information is available from the 6436 Programmers Reference Manual D2-0192-A.

(D2-0192-A). The HP emulation is very, very good (even has the flaws of the real laserjet). >Does anybody know how could I get some information on the HP Laserjet + >emulation? Is there some NCR publication, or some non-NCR publication >that could be obtained through NCR? Suggest you order the referenced manual. It is beautifully laid out (pat on the back for our pubs group), uses lots of white space to separate different topics/commands onto different pages and includes sections on the details of programming the printer in all the available emulations. It IS a COMPLETE replacement for the HP Laserjet Technical Reference Manual I have been using for years. >I will try to cross-post this to comp.periphs - please do not post answers >there as I don't get this newsgroup on my machine.
