RE: IPDS printer required for printing a barcode?

You are correct, we have hp8000, and two hp4000 running emulation cards for
IPDS,
(all three actually connected via twin-ax)
and three lexmark's (2-T622 and 1-T616) with ipds emulation "feature"
plugged in
(all running over ethernet via IP - devd is such on the 400)


I was just attempting to think outside "my box" for other solutions to the
volume
and printer demands.  Sounds like using HPT would not fit todays situation,
(I was smart/lucky without knowing it for not pursuing that option -
 ok, at least it worked out for the best at any rate)


At least I have learned another option in case the need/solution presents
itself
either here or elsewhere - and that is what this is all about - forever
learning.

Thanks,
Mark

It doesn't sound like you are using a ascii printer and emulation to
print that many pages... HPT was not designed for that volume.

The main purpose was to handle the hundreds of different ascii
printers found attached to pc's.

I suspect you are using a full blown IPDS printer.
