Kevin,

We had a similar problem with a 3916 printer.  The solution lies in the file
PENNUSER.INI,  which must not contain any font translations.  Once we solved
the problem, if I recall correctly, we found out from IBM that they ship
PENNUSER.INI with the translations for use with 3270 emulation, which
apparently is how Rochester uses the 3816/3916 printers internally.
