Re: Attaching HP Laser Printers to the AS/400

[Danny McQuestion <question@xxxxxxx>]

I'm sure others have mentioned the MPI Blue Kit SIMM and DIMM modules.  We have
roughly 12 - HP5si/5si MX, 1 - HP4si, 2 - HP8000N and 4 - HP4000N printers using
the MPI SIMM's.  They all work great!  The MPI Blue Kit is a bit pricey but 
setup
is easy and rarely have a problem with the printers.
