Questions: 

I have a VAXstation 4000 Model 90, running VMS 6.2.

I added memory to it from other VAXstations, 
so when it boots and checks the memory it says it
has 80 MB or RAM.  But once OpenVMS boots and I do a
"show memory" it says "Main Memory (32.00Mb)".
Do I have to do anything to have it see the full 80MB?

Second question.

I also have an HP Laserjet 4, are there any good (smart)
print drivers for this?  I currently just have it hooked
up on the serial line, I also have a PC with a parallel
connection to it.  The printer automatically handles
receiving input from its serial or parallel port.

   Check to see if something has set the SYSGEN parameter PHYSICALPAGES
   to a value that's low in SYSGEN and/or in SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT, 
   and re-AUTOGEN the system and reboot.  Contact your hardware support
   organization for assistance with any problems with the memory itself.

   If it looks like a ASCII serial device that supports ANSI escape
   sequences and XON/XOFF flow control, OpenVMS includes the necessary
   serial drivers.  (Contact HP for any assistance -- this device is
   not formally supported by Digital nor OpenVMS.)  For HP printers
   with Postscript, see the Digital DCPS package, specifically the
   DCPS-Open package.
