Good.  I thought that was the case <g>

I can look at the bios on the Linux box, but AIX ... there really isn't any way 
to equate the things there to the bios settings, but I will see if anything 
looks 
'obvious'.  And I can't look at linux bios until the morning since I will need 
to 
take the system down to get into the bios, I will have to do it when there 
isn't 
anyone around. :-/

Actually it is the same printer.  I am just switching cables.
