Re: TCP/IP printing from AS400

[Ken Sims <mdrg8066@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wonder if it's an Anzac.  We have an HP5SI with an Anzac twinax
adapter.

We're right now getting rid of the very last of our twinax printers.

An ethernet 6500 to replace a couple of I-don't-remember-what-they-are
big ol' twinax printers.  (We've converted some 6400s from twinax to
ethernet.)

Two 4247-003 printers to replace similar but much older twinax
printers.  (I was working just today on getting one of these
configured and tested.)

And we're pulling the Anzac card out of the HP5SI.
