Hi Jeff,

here some infos which can help:

1. You can configure your network printer with IOCONFIG (ID HPTCPJD)
   dynamically. Ignore any warnings while exiting the program.
2. Spooler program OUTSPTJ.PUB.SYS reads the NPCONFIG.PUB.SYS file
   every time you're doing a 'spooler <network printer dev>;start'
3. you easily can create your own setup files, they should be
   UNNUMBERED flat files; within editor you can do:

    2     @E
    3     @&l0L
    4     @&l0E
    5     @&l26A
    6     @(8U
    7     //
...
/cq "@" to '27 in all
/k mysetup,unn;e

   which mean:
    <ESC>Z     - display function off
    <ESC>E     - reset
    <ESC>&l0L  - perforation skip off
    <ESC>&l0E  - 0 lines top margin
    <ESC>&l26A - DIN A4 (IN GERMANY !!!), other values could be
                 <ESC>&l2A  - letter
                 <ESC>&l3A  - legal
                 <ESC>&l6A  - ledger
                 <ESC>&l27A - DIN A3
    <ESC>&(8U  - HP ROMAN 8

    for other values like portrait (<ESC>&l0O) or landscape
    (<ESC>&l1O) see a good printer PCL manual/book.
