Not to get all "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" here, but one must parse Jeff's
sentence thusly:
"z/VM now only _supports_ 3203 printers"
That is, z/VM does nothing more than support 3203 printers. What I
suspect he meant to write (and Mike assumed he meant) was:
"z/VM now supports _only_ 3203 printers"
which is patently untrue. Those naughty adverbs and adjectives can
cause a lot of mischief when they don't stay in their proper places.

Tom,
The post began with the lines:
"As usual, the solution is simple and (with hindsight) obvious ...
z/VM now only supports 3203 printers"
I responded:
Pray tell where is it documented that the only printer z/VM supports is a
lonely 3203?
OK, so perhaps it's not *actually* lonely,
but: "z/VM now only supports 3203 printers"?
What am I missing this time?

Re: Printers to 2nd Level VM
Dear Mike,
Jeff never said z/VM supports only a lonely 3203!! Nice to hear from you.

Sir Jeff,
Pray tell where is it documented that the only printer z/VM supports is a
lonely 3203?
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"? ;-)

Change directory to
SPOOL 000E 3203 A
and it all works just as one would expect.
Thanks to Tom Paul for his (off-list) discussion of the problem - he
helped me to, 'emiminate the impossible' :-)
