- I spoke today with Mike Kalt, who is the manager of graphics
- devices technical support at SAS. Mr. Kalt told me that they
- are considering support for the following configuration, but
- that Development is hesitant because "they just don't see
- the demand for it." The official method for printing in this
- configuration is to download the graphic file to a PC and THEN
- print it.
-
- As a side note, we had this configuration WORKING under 6.06,
- but it does not work under 6.07, and wasn't (I am now told)
- officially supported.
-
- The configuration in question:
-
- HP Laserjets (or other printers) attached to a 7171 protocol
- converter.
-
- If you would like to see support for 7171 attached graphics printers
- in future releases of SAS, please send me a note with your Name,
- phone number, e-mail address, company or university, and preferably
- a current SAS license number.
-
- I have volunteered to gather the names of people to whom this will
- be beneficial. Said names will be delivered to Development to
- indicate an interest in this configuration.
