I have been spending a lot of time lately on more uses for AFP and HPT... A few things to watch VERY closely. (1) How is the terminal and printer attached ??? (2) What emulation(if any) is being used that works/not works with HPT. (3) Certain printers just don't have a good WSCST from IBM but most work quite well. Try printing to "other" printers before you give up. The Lexmark printers and HP products seem to do the best that I have tested. I "suspect" the connection method will have a "great deal" to do with your success/failure.(twinax : tcp/ip : token ring) While using a 3488 and a very old Lexmark Optra R, I was able to reproduce "most" AFP functions with little/no trouble. I was able to print all major codes supported by DDS with no problem. I did all the testing on a remote dial line using a 5394 controller. All print files must be recompiled as *AFPDS for the HPT to function correctly on AFP functions. DDS and HPT are a very powerful option given time... Watch the performance hit on high volume output.
