a. The following printer models can be configured to the Series 700
parallel interface: 2562C, 2563C, 2566C, 2567C, 33449A, 33459A,
C1645A, C1656A, C1686A, C2010A, C2011A, C2021A, C2040A,
C2106A, C2113A, C2114A, C2121A, C2356A
b. Specifying CentIf causes CharDrv to be included in the kernel.
c. c#t#d# derives from the hardware path, as shown in ioscan output:
c# is the card instance for the ext_bus class of interface card to which
the printer is attached, t# is the target number, d# is the device number.
d. The following printer models can be configured to the Series 800
HP-PB parallel interface: 2225C/P, 2227A, 2228A, 2235A, (2276A),
(2277A), 2562C, (2563A/B/C), (2564B/C), (2565A), (2566B), 2566C,
(2567B), 2567C, (2684A/P), (2686A/D), 2932A, 2934A, (33438P),
(33440A), (33447A), 33449A, 33459A, 33471A, 3630A, C1202A,
C1602A, C2106A. (Obsolete models are shown in parenthesis and are
listed for reference only.)
e. Specifying lpr2 causes sio, pfail, and pa to be included in the
kernel.
