…also using PDT.

Can you explain what you mean by “using PDT”? According to Information on Printers from HP, a PDT is “n/a” for the HP 8500A.

I assume you mean that you’re using the Workstation Program 5.7, perhaps from iSeries Access V5R3, since there is no “iseries Access for Windows version 5.7″. The Personal Communications component has its own internal version that is separate from the iSeries Access version. Use the iSeries Access Properties menu item from your Start-> Programs menu to determine your iSeries Access version.

When you check your iSeries Access version, you should also check the Service level’ from the Properties panel.
