Does anyoe know of a way to permanently change the setting of a basic LA34
(i.e. one with not keyboard) so that every time it is turned off and back on
it will still retain a 6 lines per inch setting instead of the 8 lpi that it
reverts to now?  As of the moment, the setting can be changed temporarily
(until the next power-off) by sending the printer an ESC [ 0 z code, but
I hate to have to do this all of the time.

Anyone have any suggestions?  (This printer is connected to a VAXcluster 
running VMS 4.6.  It has a print queue assigned to it, with most of the
parameters set to their defaults.)

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Michael Niehaus
