RE: Configuring a simple color text printer on the iSeries

Rob,

I think you must have an entry for "Image Configuration".  This bit tells
OS400 what language and physical characteristics the printer supports (PCL,
600dpi, postscript, etc). It appears you are using a Lexmark Optra C.  This
printer uses *IMGD11 for the IMGCFG parm.  HPT is required for this stuff to
work.
