Want to add Versatek Plotter as PARALLEL 6185-2 plotter

Question:

model 41t

Customer is trying to add Versatek Plotter a IBM 6185-2 color 
plotter and print queue. 

Env: AIX 4.1.4
        model 41T
        IBM 6185-2


Customer attempting to setup the plotter as PARALLEL and cannot. 
In smitty, the only choice for the interface is RS-232 for the
IBM 6185-2 plotter.


What the customer should have been told to do is:

1.  Add the plotter "device" as Other parallel printer.
2.  Then add a queue to the device as a 6182-2.
  
  This can be done at AIX 4, by simply adding a queue to a file,
  where the file is /dev/lp4 (the device name for the "other" plotter.
  Then when prompted for printer type use 6182-2.  

  At AIX 3.2, the customer would specify *lp4 for the device name
  and then he would be prompted for the printer type.  Here he
  could enter 6182-2.
