Eugene,

I am a little short on info here, because I don't have a Millennium system
to test with.

When you define printers to Millennium (which I believe you have to do
through the character interface), you eventually get to a screen that
looks something like this:

                   PRINTERS
    PRINTER #7
1 > Menu Name            : Workstation JetDirect
2 > Diac Map             : Unicode UTF-8
3 > Printer Type         : wsjet
4 > IP Address           : LOCAL
5 > TCP Port             : 9100



The "menu name" field is how this printer (printer #7) will appear as an
option to be selected when, in any application, you go to choose a printer
(assuming that this printer number is available to your particular login).
Boy, that was a clumsy sentence.

Field 2 indicates how Mill. will translate diacritics, CJK, and other
non-ASCII characters.

Field 4, being set to LOCAL, means Mill. will send the print job out to
the same IP address as your workstation session is coming in from.

Field 5 indicates the IP port to use. 9100 is standard.

In any case, your III support person should be able to set up a
Workstation JetDirect printer for you.
