HP Terminal Emulators: Printing on Host Printers


Is there a Macintosh terminal emulator that allows file transfer and
printing from an HP3000? I've found some information about Session and
Reflection 3 PLUS, but there's no mention of printing.

I've also read that Tymlabs, publishers of the Sessions series of terminal
emulators, now supports Ethernet. Will using Ethernet allow better
connectivity?

To our knowledge, no terminal emulation package for HP computers has a
specific feature to print directly to an HP3000's printers. You'll have to
use the file transfer feature to transfer the text file to the HP3000 and
print from there. Walker, Richer & Quinn Inc., the maker of Reflection 3
PLUS, says that you can automate this process using their scripting
language. Tymlabs Corporation, the maker of Session, said that version
4.0, has scripts for printing on the host printer.

Ethernet's high transmission speed (10 megabits per second) is particularly
useful when there is heavy use of a file server. Examples include
multi-user database use, primary storage use for all applications, or for
applications development with shared libraries on the file server.
