On an Intel Box with 3 ports (2 parallel and 1 serial,) what NPCONFIG parameter would you need to tell it whether you're sending to LPT1, COM1, or LPT2? Tracy M.

Works fine. I've also been able to use non-HP, but pcl-compatible, laser printers. As for the network interface card/box, ideally it should be either a JetDirect or 100%-compatible. However, by using the undocumented option "snmp_enabled=false" in npconfig.pub.sys, you should be able to use non-JetDirect cards/boxes. I've successfully used Intel NetExport boxes for example. In either case, you will probably need to experiment with other options, in particular "pjl_enabled", to see what will work.

I searched high and low, but could not find that particular message. Can someone send that piece of mail to me or point me to a document which shows the solution? Thanks much!!
