Ok, a real AS/400 novice here about to train a printer maintenance class
Why is it AS/400, other than being an IBM brain child, does not work well with HP Laser printers? I may have a Lexmark (T-640/C510/E250/Multi 642) class that I may have to answer certain questions during this maintenance repair class. The client is using all Lexmark printers with AS/400.
