Hello friends,


Sub: Configuring printers under DTC (dtc16/mx). OS : mpe/ix ver 5.0

Breif info: I have 1 hp dot matrix printer and 2 Laser prinetrs (Troy and
            IIID) , all to be connected under DTC.


Detailed info:

      I have connected dot matrix printer under DTc using profile PR22D24.
It is working fine. Similarly I did configure Troy and IIID laser printers
using the profile PR22D96. For this, 2 dev classes have been assigned.
Assigned Ldevs 201 and 202 respectively and validated successfully.


After issuing print command, the following msgs appears on the screen.
