| Dave,
Using the remote console will not provide all the information
needed. You will need to power off the printer and turn it back on.
The printer will go through its self test and when it displays its
ethernet hardware address there will be three sets on numbers displayed
under this MAC address. Make note of the three numbers, these are the
firmware revisions.
To support Postscript level II the LPS20 printer needs to be a
TurboPrintserver20 printer vs. a plain Printserver20. There are two
type of controllers for a LPS20, the plain 20 and the turbo20. The
Turbo controller is the prerequsite for the option memory card,
LPS3X-UA and the printer needs the latest 5.1 of Printserver software.

| Dave and Ben,
There are two flavors of the LPS20. The plain20 which uses a RTVAX
chip set on its controller. There is the Turbo controller that is used
in the LPS20 and in the LPS32. It uses the CVAX chip set. By noting the
firmware revision you can tell the differences:
LCD panel
08-00-2b-xx-xx-xx
2.3 1.2 1.1
^ ^ ^
| | Duplex Cntlr firmware
Print Engine contoller firmware
LPS Controller firmware
If the first number is 2.x or greater then the printer has a Turbo
controller. If it is 1.x then it is using a plain controller. To be
able to support Postscript Level II on a LPS20 printer it needs to have
a Turbo controller and be booted with LPS 5.1 software. The part number
for the Turbo controller is 54-20830-01 (for LPS20 only) or 54-20830-03
(for LPS20 and LPS32). If your Turbo card is using anything below 2.3
then the whole Turbo controller needs to be swapped out for a later
one. There has been some major bug fixes that required rework of the
controller.
The part number for the Postscript level II upgrade is LPS3X-UA. This
kit comes with the optional memory card with qty. 1- 4MB/ 72 pin/
70nSec/ nonparity memory simm and the latest firmware for the Turbo
card 3.8 is the revision. Bundled into the price of this kit is the
royalties for Postscript Level II.
