The IM deals with installing/updating system software. Networked printer installation and configuration are covered in a new chapter (3?) of the Native Mode Spooler Reference Manual (32650-90166). Also, with the new IOCONFIG (on-line device configuration) utility, it is no longer necessary to reboot the system when adding or deleting peripheral devices. Hope that helps. -Larry "MPE/iX Spoolers 'R' Us" Byler-
