PRINTER -- Printer Information     83/08/03


  Four types of printers are supported on an Apollo node:

      1) NEC Spinwriter 7715, connected via an SIO line
      2) Printronix 300/600 LPM printer, connected to the PBU
      3) GE 3000 dot-matrix printer, connected via an SIO line
      4) Versatec V-80 printer-plotter, connected to the PBU via an
         IKON 10071-5.


  Files are printed on these devices by the print server.  The print server
  consists of two components, the PRF (PRINT_FILE) command and the PRSVR
  (PRINT_SERVER) program, which runs in a separate process on the node to
  which a printer is attached.

  More information is available.  Type:
