RE: IBM 6400 Printer

[Tim Hamm <tmhamm@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just wanted to agree with David, and state that IBM
Printing told me you have to do IPDS over Ethernet
TCP/IP to avoid the remote printer stuff.  Without the
IPDS, the Ethernet TCP/IP forces the remote printer
configuration (even with IBM's internal 6400
Ethernet).  You have to have the IPDS, also.  It's
some extra bucks, but it may be worth it for the
capability.

Just my $.02
