Hi Lerwick,

There may be better ways, but try prompting the CRTOUTQ command, press F9,
find the MFRTYPMDL (Manufacturer Type and Model) parameter, put a ? in there
and field exit and press ENTER. You should see a bunch of IBM printers, but
if you page down you should see other manufacturers. Funny how 'I' comes
before 'C', 'H', etc...<G>.
