    Hi All,

    I've just swapped out an ageing HP 715-64 for a B2000a FXE, running HP-UX 10.20
    ACE Dec 1999. The 715 had a Designjet 600 plotter connected to it's parallel
    port which worked fine, I can't get the same to work with the B2000a (using same
    parallel lead).

    On B2000a SAM under devices lists:

    10/0/14/1/3 SCentIf Built-In Parallel Interface

    However attempting to add a printer to this (using SAM) claims no parallel port
    could be found.

    Anyone have any clues on why this could be ? HP-UX bug maybe fixed by later
    patches ?

    Also does the FXE fully support hardware OpenGL ? Our application, SDRC I-Deas
    Master Series 6 works fine with the PEX driver but OpenGL is slow (seems to be
    doing it in software).

    Any help much appreciated.

    Neil
