Re: WSCST type function on IPDS printer type

[smorrison@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

This is a feature of the IPDS card.  You can use the same printer for SCS 
reports and for IPDS reports. The SCS device works as before, the IPDS 
device can handle both IPDS and traditional SCS reports. On the laser 
printers I've used this on, the SCS reports and IPDS reports are rotated 
180 degrees from each other.  This seems to work on both Twinax attached 
printers an IP attached printers.

Re: WSCST type function on IPDS printer type






I don't recall ever hearing of a device having more than
one description. Exactly how and why would you want to
do such ?

I'm curious as to how a device can be entered twice
having the same address.
