Re: Really weird printer problem

["Paul Tykodi" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Albert,

If port 2 switch setting 1 has been defined as a secondary system console,
you will get this message. The system will accept the device name (PRT01)
but it will try to treat the device as a display when you try to vary it on.

Good luck!

Best Regards,

/Paul
