<< We have a 2563 printer with a serial interface.  We have two questions,
 and no one seems to be able to give us a straight answer on either point:
 
 1) we would like to set the default print pitch so it prints 16.7 cpi on
 all printouts.  We have the software escape codes to do this on a per-
 printout basis, but we want to set this to be the default through the
 printers' control panel.
 
 2) the printer is currently connected to an HP3000/928.  can this printer
 be connected to a PC or PC network?  If so, what driver should be used,
 and are there any settings that need to be set on the printer itself?
 Will a standard serial cable work?
 
 If anyone has any information it would be appreciated. >>
 
I can answer #2 for you knowing that this works since I set up a 2563 to a PC
that dialed in from our CA warehouse using a script file and printed off
sales orders to be shipped.  Try using the HP PaintJet  driver.  Yes,
 Paintjet....
Not really sure of the settings,  but I could research if necessary.
