Re: A bit off topic...Pick R91...a question...

Hi.

David is correct. Pick is definitely not unix.

I don't know R91, but I've used R83 and more modern variants, currently running 'D3/Linux' on RedHat.

I reckon you could use almost any printer apart from winprinters. We run Lexmark Optra with great success. We have used canon, HP, Fujitsu, Epson, Brother, Star!, and all sorts of interfaces from serial and parallel through to network (which your R91 box probably doen't have)

How they work depends on the application on the pick box, but you start with plain text and go as complex as you like. I have heard of people storing company logos in the pick database and including them in their printouts, but I have never tried that.
