I agree with you on that Charles. If I take the print server off, and request a config page from the IBM 6400 itself, it prints normally, so it's definitely something about the print server.

I did remove the ribbon cable end-piece from the card slot yesterday and it's no longer touching metal. The end-piece is where the print server connects and I wonder if the lack of metal to metal contact at the ribbon end-piece is eliminating a required ground and thus causing the sever to send gibberish??

My first guess would be a problem in EBCDIC to ASCII translation.


That shouldn't be a factor in printing the print server config to the
printer. Which the OP said didn't work either.
