Q:                                                                              
Customer wants to print from SP via PSF/6000 to a Mannesmann TALLY              
Printer T6082/T6092. This printer does not understand PCL5.                     
                                                                                
Is there a possibility to configure PSF/6000 in order to emulate an             
IBM Proprinter or another datastream?                                           
                                                                                
A:                                                                             
PSF/AIX does not support impact printers, I'm sorry.  The only exception        
is that it can support IPDS 64xx printers driven from a host PSF                
(PSF/MVS, PSF/VM, PSF/VSE, PSF/400) through PSF Direct (SNA LU6.2) to           
the extent of the support provided by the host PSF.                             
                                                                                
PSF/AIX cannot support the Mannesmann Tally T6082/T6092 line impact             
printers.  There might be some support possible through native AIX.             
                                                                                
Thanks for using ViewBlue.
