RE: IP Printing and forms

I have implemented IP print of acknowledgements using a Hewlett Packard
HP5si and also a Hewlett Packard LJ4000N. The "production" acknowledgements
print on the 5si, which i created a workstation customizing object for. Also
I spool all of our IP printing through our NT servers because I ran into
problems where print jobs from the AS/400 and NT print jobs would "collide"
and hang the printer.

The trickiest part of the project was getting the IP print to "line up" on
the pre-printed form. I eventually created a printer overlay and used that
to print the acknowledgement.

Any further questions feel free to inquire.

We are in the process of evaluating a private WAN to connect a couple of
branch offices to our AS400 running Mapics XA4.  I have setup several IP
printers in the past (all HP) for other companies.  The problem I have
frequently run into is that for IP printing versus twinax somehow
changes the CPI setting (at least on HP's).  Now I have tried using work
station customization object with mixed results.

Has anyone successfully used IP printing to print acknowledgments and AP
checks?  What type of hardware have you done this with?  Did it require
any special programming considerations for the IP printer definition?

Thanks to anyone who can help me.
