Good.  I thought that was the case <g>

I can look at the bios on the Linux box, but AIX ... there really isn't any way 
to equate the things there to the bios settings, but I will see if anything looks 
'obvious'.  And I can't look at linux bios until the morning since I will need to 
take the system down to get into the bios, I will have to do it when there isn't 
anyone around. :-/

Actually it is the same printer.  I am just switching cables.
