Re: Okidata w/jet direct

Jeff,

This used to be a 391 but it fried and was replaced by a 420. Connected to a HP 500x

CRTDEVPRT DEVD(PRT0250B) DEVCLS(*LAN) TYPE(3812) MODEL(1) +

LANATTACH(*USRDFN) PORT(9101) ATTACH(*DIRECT) FONT(11 +

*NONE) FORMFEED(*CONT) INACTTMR(*SEC15) +

TRANSFORM(*YES) MFRTYPMDL(*EPFX870) PPRSRC1(*CONT80) +

ASCII899(*NO) IMGCFG(*NONE) RMTLOCNAME('10.0.0.250') +

USRDRVPGM(PRTDRVXT/TSPLPRD)

It does respond to all the CPI/LPI commands although not always exactly on the small ones. I can't remember which but one of the CPI (17.5?) ends up even smaller because the printer doesn't have it.

Two keys are the emulation mode the printer itself is set to and the USRDRVPGM. TSPLPRD is a C program that comes with the new mini QUSRTOOLS. It makes the Page Range and other Device only features work. TRANSFORM isn't needed if you are just doing text.

Not a client access connection, but a true LAN attached local device. 

I'm looking for confirmation that the printer will respond properly to
10CPI/15CPI and 6LPI/8LPI.  It would be nice if the bottom tractor feed and
rear tractor feed could be called drawer 1 and drawer 2, but I know when I'm
asking for too much.  <g>

Come to think of it, I don't even know if that HP Jet Direct 170 card that I
have lying around will even work at all with a dot matrix printer.
