The PTF problem might bite you in the *** but the Xerox printers work just fine on i. I have configured them on multiple systems (including V5R4). The command below should get you a workable setup. Note that almost ALL of the current Xerox printers appear to configure just about exactly the same on IBM i, actually kinda nice.

*NOTE* you may have to create a workstation customization object to change the drawer selections because XEROX seems to use different numbers than you might expect. To do that use RTVWSCST *HP5SI and then swap around the commands in the section :DWRSLT until they work as you want.

We are getting new printers. Swapping out Xerox for new. I have looked atthe IBM document on ASCII printers, but don't see 5135. For now, I have been setting them up as LPD, and they seem to work. Anybody know if the 5135 supports other protocols. We are on v5r4. No where remotely current on ptfs.
