I'm going to be attaching our Lexmark Optra RT+ laser printer as a filepro
printer in the near future.  Thought I'd ask if anyone knows of the proper
driver to use before I dig out the manual and try to figure it out.  Also,
I'm sure I'm stretching here, but this lexmark has 5 bins that I can control
in WordPerfect -- it would be nice if I can control in filepro somehow.

Linda,

As Ken responded, the R series printers from Lexmark respond to PCL5
commands like an HP laserjet.  You may find there are some small differences
in the commands to choose a source tray, however.  I have several clients
using various models of Lexmark lasers successfully from filePro in SCO and
Windows environments.  Here is an example of the filePro tray selection
printer commands for one of them that has 5 input trays (and 4 output
trays):

 $1b & l 1 H           Source Tray 1
 $1b & l 4 H           Source Tray 2
 $1b & l 5 H           Source Tray 3
 $1b & l 20 H         Source Tray 4
 $1b & l 21 H         Source Tray 5
 $1b & l 6 H           Source Envelope Tray
 $1b & l 2 H           Source Manual Feed

$1b & l 1 G             Output Standard Bin
$1b & l 3 G             Output Bin 1
$1b & l 4 G             Output Bin 2
$1b & l 5 G             Output Bin 3
$1b & l 0 G             Output Autoselect Bin

(the 'l' character is a lower case L)

You will need to check the manual specific to the RT+ model but I think you
should find these may work for you - or at least be fairly close.
