Art,

If you mean the MPE network spooler, then a necessary requirement is the
printer MUST understand basic PCL or, be so brain dead that it takes the PCL
generated by the network spooler (there is NO way to suppress this - it is
hard-coded into the spooler) and discards it completely.

The npconfig directive "snmp_enabled=false" will allow you to use
non-HPJetDirect NICs; but if you want to use the garden variety dot matrix
printer as a network printer, you will need one of several third party
tools.

Probably not want you wanted to read,

John
