Re: [IUG] System printers that are not HP

["Carol Gyger" <cgyger at fcgov dot com>]

Paul,

I have a Dell 1700n laser printer in my office.  I print to it often
through Millennium, Standard Printer.  I've never had any problems with
it.  In printer setup on the III server, I specified Printer Type=hpii. 
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Carol

Honest to goodness gang - it seems like printer woes just never stop.

Our recent skirmish is that the "system printer" that we had in our
Children's Department finally bit the dust. It was an aging HP laser,
and when we migrated to III it installed on III just fine, so we kept
using it as a reliable workhorse. The printer was located on the staff
desk, and whenever staff or users (children) at the public PCs
printed,
it all went to the same network printer. A very cost effective
solution
for a relatively low volume area.

So, the old HP bites the dust, and the City MIS guys (that btw do a
great job supporting our hardware) install the replacement printer
using
the manufacturer/model that they are now using all around the City.
The
problem is it is a Dell laser printer. We now come to learn that III
only supports HP 4000 or 4050 as system network printers (or Okidata
as
serial). Nobody in MIS asked us if this was going to be a problem, but
they sure as heck do not want to install other than their current
favorite printer.

My question for you'all is:  Have you had success getting network
printers other than HP manufacturer to install and run from Millenium
as
a "standard printer". Specifically have you had success with Dell
3100cn
?

We appreciate any advice (other than the obvious of telling City MIS
to
take the $%^& thing away).

Thanks, and Happy Holidays

Paul
