Donna Garverick asked about configuring LP when there is no LP.  When we
moved from the 948 to a 918, we did away with the HP-IB devices (like LP,
LDEV 6) and went to DTC and network printers.  What we do is the following,
which works for us:

In SYSSTART:

STOPSPOOL 6
OPENQ LP


In MPE:

:SHOWDEV LP

LDEV     AVAIL         OWNERSHIP         VOLID         DEN   ASSOCIATION

   6     SPOOLED
 114     SPOOLED       SPOOLER OUT


In SYSGEN:

 LDEV:     6  DEVNAME:                    OUTDEV:        0   MODE:
   ID: HP2567B                            RSIZE:        66   DEVTYPE: LP
 PATH: 56/52.8.0                          MPETYPE:      32   MPESUBTYPE:  9
CLASS: LP       LP1

NOTE:  As Wirt said, this doesn't really matter since we never use LDEV 6.
I had to add this in when we first started testing this machine as MPE
complains if there is no LP device.  So I left this in just in case the
NMMGR-defined LP is ever removed.


Then, in NMMGR, we have a profile for a DTC printer defined with the LP
class.

Like I said, this works for use, although it may not be the most elegant
solution...
