We have a MT691 and MT661, and they are connected via rs-232 on our dtc. We had to configure it with termtype 18, but the risk is that we could loose reports when the power is shut off. I tried a few years ago to put them on a jetdirect box, and configure them as network printers on my hp3000. I had a lot of garbage, because there is a PJL dialog between the jetdirect box and the printer. My MT printers doesn't support PJL language ... I tried to add the line pjl_supported = false in the npconfig.pub.sys file, but there was still a minimum dialog between the jetdirect box and the printer. So, I didn't find a valid issue, and I'm still using then on my dtc. Best regards. Beghein Johan.
