Printing to an LA75 using VMS queues and form definitions

Mark I have several of those terminal servers here. How is yours configured, and even wired to your system?

2. Printing to it from a DECterm using the print menu on the terminal and SIXEL graphics format produces a completely black image. If I use the print screen facility I do get a black and white representation of the screen area as captured. Thanks for the help, Mark.

However, instead of polling every node in the node DB, I will only poll those nodes that have indicated that they should be included - so let me know if you want some nodes included. This should reduce the amount of junk traffic drastically. Johnny, let me know if you still see a lot of errors on your side. Sampsa
