[Info-vax] LAT port to Ethernet Printer

[Carl Friedberg]

I would add: if you have interesting form libraries, those will almost
certainly need to be updated. Although Printronix told me that would not be
needed, I found I could not use the printserver ( as opposed to LAT, which
I'm still using) because of those form libraries differing ever so subtly
when run through the printserver.

Anyone remember some of those magic escape sequences sent out at the start
of a LAT print job??? (not so big grin)
