DTCs / end of life for support

[Fred Martin_1]

I have a DTC72 and several DTC48's which now have been relegated to running a few dot matrix text printers.

These HP DTC's (and, dtcmanager, I think) are no longer supportable on my HP support contract.

1. Is there a current HP DTC that is supportable?

2. If not, will HP-UX have any issues connecting to a third-party DTC, such as one from Black Box or similar supplier?

I would replace all your DTCs as soon as possible with JetDirect LAN-to-printer adapters. Serial printing is a museum oddity these days. I am very surprised that it still works -- or maybe you are not running 11.11 or later?

Hi Buddy,

I do agrred with the Above statements.

Replace the old printer with new One and have a HP Jetadmin Utility Installed.

HP Jetadmin Will allow to manage your IP base printer.

Good to see you that still you are working with DTC...

Thanks. Well, these text printers (Oki 320 and Oki 3410) aren't quite relics but they'll be around here for a long time. I can get network cards for them, it turns out. That will solve it.
