Workstation connected printers

["Peter Kinsman" <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think I have asked this question before, but not of this group.  I have a 
client who need to print a µ symbol as part of a process specification.  They 
print their jobcards on a Star XB24-250 (old but very sophisticated) PC printer 
which is connected to a 3486 workstation.  I think the problem is that the 
initialisation string that the workstation sends to the printer prior to the 
AS/400 output nullifies certain settings on the printer, so it prints from the 
standard character set rather than the graphic set.  One solution would be to 
connect the printer to a PC rather than the workstation, but I would have 
thought that it should be possible.
Has anyone solved this problem or even have access to a 3486 manual please.

Many thanks
