I have been using a program for over a year that allows you to
print UNIX jobs on your PC printer, and PC jobs on a UNIX
printer.  The product is called JSB MultiView Desktop (there's
also an X version that provides an X client on your PC) and it
runs under MS-Windows 3.x.  It allows up to six simultaneous UNIX
sessions (each running in a window) as well as file transfer.

The 7th pseudo tty is reserved for printing and is used to
configure a UNIX printer.  Whenever data flows to this pseudo
tty, the MultiView Host Support Module (HSM), which runs on the
host and is linked into the kernel, transfers the print file to
your PC.  After the transfer it is sent to your default Windows
printer, either directly or through Print Manager.  Works great!

Going the other way, you install a printer on a file, say
c:\laser.prn.  Then a MultiView background task watches for this
file to appear.  It then transfers the file to the UNIX host and
submits a print job to the spooler of your choice.  It also works
great!

It comes in 1, 5 & 10 user licenses and support is available
through email (which I like) from Allen Smith - Support Manager
allens@jsbus.jsbus.com.  It supports many networks and serial
connections, with an automatic login chat that you can "teach"
about your environment.  As I say, I've used it for over a year
and am very pleased.  We have several clients with dozens of
users using it - all think it is a fantastic way to get Windows
into UNIX.

I was looking at the model 95 today for home use (school and small
business) and was wondering what people thought of it.  For the money
it seems to be a nice entry level postscript printer.  I did hear from
another dealer that they had some problems with them and are waiting
for NEC to fix it up a bit, but I hate to go by what one person has to
say.

Just for comparisons sake I did look at the HP4m, but the added $600
in cost is more than I can afford, much to my dismay.

Thanks for any and all comments.

	We have (serial) printers connected to xyplex terminal

  We, and others we know, had problems similar to the above with QMS printers
  4-5 years ago to the extent that we (and others) decided not to buy any more
  QMS printers.  We ended up throwing one away, because it failed and neither
  QMS (we shipped it to them) nor anyone else could fix it: QMS claimed that 
  it did, and charged us a good chunk of money for the exercise, but it didn't
  do anything for the printer.  Given the number of people who have recommended
  QMS here since then, I thought that the company had changed.  Maybe not.

Are you using the Centronics (Parallel) Interface as your I/O connection?
If so, ou might want to consider turning off print spooling in the Print
Manager.  The LJ4 can accept data through this port very quickly.  In fact,
it might be able to take data as fast or faster than Windows can spool to a
disk.  See if this helps.  It would be interesting to take new measurements
and report your findings as a followup posting.

One disadvantage to turning off spooling, potentially, is that while your
application is printing, you can not be using that application.

Yes, I'm sure.  Why?  The management/marketing types here decided
that the niche for slow duplex machines was too small to justify taking
engineering resources away from higher-volume products.  Same reason that
HP no longer offers an 11x17 format printer.

Calling the local WANG-Tech didn't do me any good. He only confirmed that
the 25 pin female sub-d connector was in fact RS-232, but couldn't say
anything about baud rates or parity settings. Also he spoke about microcode
being loaded from the host.....

Now here I am, capable of taking the printer apart, capable of sending it
data at any give baud rate and other setting, capable of making it print
some test pages, but otherwise clueless.

Also, I'm wondering how you you can handle a printer with just one button...

Any clues?

GPIB is just an interface standard. It is not a printer command language.
What you need is a GPIB(aka HPIB aka IEEE-488) driver that will allow you
to send the text file out via the GPIB interface.

The drivers should come with the GPIB card.  If the card was
inherited, the best solution is to request it from the manufacturer of
the card (HP, maybe?).

3.  Is the printout for dvi files readable?  I read the advertisement
