Dear Mike, Jeff never said z/VM supports only a lonely 3203!! Nice to hear from you.

The z/VM 5.4.0 CP Planning and Administration manual describes (Chapter 5, on p47) SYSTEM CONFIG statements needed to support printer models: 3203 model 5; 3211 models 1 and 5; 3262; 3268 models 2 and 2C; 3287 models 1, 1c, 2, 2c, and 4; 3289 models 1,3,4, and 8; 3800 models 1, 3,6, and 8; 3812; 3816; 3820; 3825; 3827; 3228; 3835; 3900; 4245 models 1, 12, and 20; 4248 model 1, and 2, 6262 models 14, and 22. (any typos are mine) Appendix 'D' contains a "Configuration Guide for Printers" for most of those printers. OK, we lost the good old 1403, but 'cmon... what'd I miss? In the statement "z/VM now only supports 3203 printers", when is "now"? ;-) Mike Walter Aon Corporation The opinions expressed herein are mine alone, not my employer's.
