I think this is a 'feature.'  The writer needs to know what type of forms
are in the printer.  I'd hate to have it 'assume' that invoices are loaded
when AP Checks are really in the printer (not that -anyone- ought to leave
checks loaded....  (:  ).

I think IBM has been 'improving' certain printer instructions so that the
writer issues these messages on each startup.  Writers had been 'assuming'
that things hadn't been changed between startups; but you know what
'assume' means.
