We have had 2 Tek Phaser printers, a 560 and now a 750. The 560 sort of worked with the AppSocket (ie. ports 9100/9101) protocol, but timed out a lot. The 750 always gave me wrong page numbers. After futtsing around a bunch with the 750, I tried using the LPR port. It seems to work fine and is fast. I don't know if this is the same on the 740, but on the 750 you can set the printer to send the server an eMail for each job with how many pages were printed on what medium and the amount of toner used, along with the user name. This lets us do quite accurate accounting. The server just has a bounce queue to LPR@<IP Address>. In addition, I have :remote_support=R in the printcap entry. This is probably too restrictive, but it informs the server that the 750 doesn't use LPRng. -- Howard -------------------------------------------------------------------- Dipl.-Phys.
