another one of those apparently simple-minded questions from
a unix novice:

we're trying to run a hp2635b printing terminal as a remote
spooled printer on our 9000/835s running 3.1.

the closest we can come to a driver is
usr/spool/lp/model/hp2631g.

using SAM (the idiots delight) we note it sets up 3 files:
1. usr/spool/lp/request/hp2635g
2. usr/spool/lp/member/hp2635g
3. usr/spool/lp/interface/hp2635g

seems to work okay with a simple cat, but loses it's mind a
bit when used with forms..  spacing is off a tad.

tried ../model/dumb but got nothing...

response center can only seem to keep repeat that they don't
know of such a printer... (we KNOW it's no longer supported,
but gee wiz, guys!!)

anyone have any helpful suggestions would be earnestly
appreciated by some very puzzled beginners.


e mail can be addressed to ar.bxa@forsythe.stanford.edu if
this doesn't seem worth the bandwidth.

thanks in advance for any help, suggestions, references,
etc.
