RE: Creating Overlays with AFP Print Driver

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

What are you trying to print?  A printout generated from your 400 or a printout 
generated from a PC application?

On the WRKSPLF screen place an 8 on the printout to look at it's attributes.  
Check the following:
Printer device type  . . . . . . . . . :   *AFPDS
...
Front side overlay:                                
  Overlay  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   ROBFAX  
    Library  . . . . . . . . . . . . . :     FAXOVL

Guess I sounded sneaky there, eh?

I did try it and it didn't work with my setup.  I am using latest client
access and V4R3, but I cannot print using TCP/IP.  I was able to print on
Win95, but I can't print on NT workstation 4.0.  I get a windows error that
the memory cannot be written, and it ends the session.

I am using WinLPD on NT.  I don't get the overlay at all.
