Re: Printing and SNMP

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

According to Printing V Redbook, "This printer driver provides the function 
found in the PJL printer driver but does not require the printer to support 
PJL commands." Seems the printer DOES need to support somethign else, 
however. More info is in APAR II03291, at 
http://www-912.ibm.com/n_dir/nas4apar.NSF/1be1a5b61b213a6c86256c23007048f4/0a4880d100c2552e862568ab006dce41

Also, just get Printing V and see what it says. COMMON in Toronto seems 
will have a session on this and other printing stuff.

Probably losing nothing or not much, as this driver provides PCL 
functionality, which the PJL driver also does.
