An old Sys/36 printer was replaced by a new IBM printer 3 years ago.  It is
not in the same place I am so I can't just walk over and look at it.
WRKDEVD says the printer is a 4234 printer.  Can this be so?  I have the
feeling that this printer is in fact far more capable than a 4234 printer
but was configured as a 4234 to insure no problems with the Sys/36
applications still running on the iSeries.

What has started me on this issue is that I wish to print 12 cpi and I am
getting hardware halts saying that 12 cpi is unsupported.  I can not believe
a brand new printer manufactured by IBM in 1999 is incapable of printing 12
cpi.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Even "RTFM"  if you
d also tell me which manual.
