Re: Printers: Network v 400

[boothm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I do not understand...?  Would all of these printers be more or less
identical?  Would each printer have an PrinterID?  But then wouldn't you
also have a few different QPRINT files, for various needs?  For example, I
have made a PRTF named QPRINT85 which I use for programs with 8.5" x 11"
portrait output.  So, when I write a program that I plan to be on 8.5" x
11" paper my F spec is for QPRINT85.  Then the printers all know how to
deal with it when it comes to them.  I do use HPT though, and am worried
about the post a bit ago about a performance hit...
