Art--We are using Okidata 321 printers for things like Bills of Lading-- the Oki is an impact (dot matrix) printer, and the BOLs require multiple copies (with carbon or NCR).
Our printers are either connected 1 of 2 ways:Thru a "CLI Box" (Computer Lab International), which is a 'dumb terminal' -type box, and provides 2 (or more) screen sessions, as well as a printer session that converts Ethernet to parallel printer. Newer versions of the CLI box do more, but the original functions survive. The printer is defined on the i5 as a Client Access printer; the CLI box connects, creates the device, and fires it up.
The other way is connecting the printer to a PC, and using a client access printer session (NOT preferred!).
