Re: printing to Win2000 server parallel printer

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brian,
Thanks for all the info. I did check IBM's Knowledge Base & it has the
mfrtypmdl to use. What I didn't know is if Jet Direct is suitable for line 
printers (just never
tried one). The HP website doesn't really say "what" you connect so I was 
left wondering
what limitations might exist.
thanks
jim

I do not see why not. If the cables fit why not.  You should still be able
to have the printer as a windows share, so it works like it does now.

It will be interesting(?) to figure out what WSCST to use.  You will have
to see it the printer is configed for an emulation mode:

Looking here:

Standard Emulations
Tally Line Matrix Printer, Tally Dot Matrix Printer, Printronix® P600 and
P6000,
HP 2564C, DEC® LG01, Epson® FX1180, Genicom® ANSI & IBM® Proprinter III XL

you can get a ethernet card for the printer, not sure if that would make
life easier or not.....
