Charles, You're right, for the Okidata ML-391, the JetDirect devices will not support PJL or SNMP. The way you phrased it could lead one to believe that "With a JetDirect, you'll only be able to access the printer via a RMTOUTQ" applies to all printers attached to the device. Sorry.

Remember we're talking about an Okidata dot matrix here. *HPPJLDRV support requires PJL support from both the printer and the print server, *IBMSNMPDRV support also seems to require SNMP support from the printer and print server. An Okidata dot matrix wouldn't handle PJL and probably doesn't handle SNMP. >From the KB: ---------------- There is no guarantee that printers that support Remote Output Queues (RMTOUTQs) will also support PJL (or vice versa). In order for a *LAN PJL device description to work, the following hardware requirements must be met: 1 The printer connected via this print driver must support the HP PJL (Print Job Language) protocol 2 If the printer is connected to a network adapter, the adapter must be compatible with the printer, it must provide bi-directional communication with the printer, and it must also pass all of the HP PJL commands to and from the printer untouched. There is no guarantee that printers that support *LAN 3812 PJL device descriptions will also support SNMP (or vice versa). In order for a *LAN SNMP device description to work, the following hardware requirements must be met: 1 The printer connected via this print driver must support the industry standard Host Resource Management Information Base (RFC 1514). It is highly recommended (but not required) that the printer also support the Printer Management Information Base (RFC 1759). 2 If the printer is connected to a network adapter, the adapter must be compatible with the printer and it must also support the Host Resource Management Information Base (RFC 1514). --------------------- HTH, Charles > -----Original Message----- > From: DeLong, Eric [mailto:EDeLong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 2:20 PM > To: 'Midrange Systems Technical Discussion' > Subject: RE: Okidata w/jet direct > > > No, that's not correct.
