Re: 1372 Option Setting

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If I would have only known to look at manuals
with a description of Infoprint Color 1000 Printers,
I would have been in much better shape. This was the
exact manual I needed but I would have NEVER looked
at a Inforprint 1000 or anything related to color
since I did not have a color printer or a printer
name Infoprint 1000.

This all goes back to the IBM insanity of naming
conventions.

Since this printer is a 4529 printer, why not have
ALL manuals for the 4529 marked as 4529, rather than
Infoprint 1000 ????

Why call this printer a Infoprint 1372 when in fact,
the model number on the machine is 4529 ????

I really do appreciate the additional info and I have
downloaded the stangely titled manuals.
