Done, and this was necessary (now the print spooler CAN open the device file)

	I think that this is THE problem. SOmebody else suggested I
check if I can spool any files to the printer (using the lp2686
driver included with hp-ux 7.0). I tried it (after taking off the
postscript cartridge from the printer) and the printer did not
respond.

	My cabling is as follows:

9000-350 port (98644@select code 9) connecte dto a 98561-61604 HP
cable connected to a regular rs-232 modem cable. I use this combination
to connect a modem to the HP 9000-350 without problems.

What is the HP cable that I need instead of the 98561-61604?

I will try this after I resolve the cabling problem.
Thanks for your help Bob...
