I've purchased many Prodigy DataMax label printers (4x6 UPS or smaller) from
Ebay for around $80-$150 each over the last few years. The replacement heads
alone are $280 new.
The PCL (sic) is pretty straightforward. It isn't WYSIWYG but debugable.
These printers have all the bar code fonts containe
Hi Karjala,
>>No man pages on our AIX or Solaris systems for printcap.
I haven't been following the thread, but on AIX you probably want to `man

George,
And maybe I can get the fellow what wants to get the new printers to do the work!

Friends,

Hey Karjala,
