RE: Lexmark MarkNet Pro1

For starters, I believe port '0' refers to the Serial port on a MarkNet.
Ports '1' and '2' are usually the 2 parallel ports (if 2 ports are
supported on your model).  Be warned there was a model, or flash level
of a model, that used something weird like port '9' - probably for the
serial port though.

Make sure you have PTF's SF40506, SF45336, SF45145.

Here's some info from the cover letter for PTF SF38640:


************************************************************************
*
 
        TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS NEW FUNCTION, THE PRINTERCONNECTED VIA
        THIS PRINT DRIVER MUST HAVE A DEDICATED PORT THAT ACCEPTSPCL/PJL
        COMMANDS.
 
        TO CONFIGURE SUCH DEVICES THE CRTDEVPRT CL COMMAND IS USED.  THE
        FOLLOWING PARAMETERS SHOULD BE SPECIFIED:
 

________________________________________________________________________
_
 
        DEVICE CLASS = *LAN
 
        DEVICE TYPE = 3812
 
        DEVICE MODEL = 1
 
        LAN ATTACHMENT = *IP
 
        FORM FEED
          -*CONT:  For continuous forms printers.
          -*CUT:  For single-cut sheet printers.
          -*AUTOCUT:  For printers with single-cut sheets that are
              fed automatically.
 
        ACTIVATION TIMER = (1-2550 secs)
          -The amount of time (in seconds) to wait for the deviceto
respond.
          -The device is considered not available and an error message
is
           posted if there is no connection before this timer expires.
 
        INACTIVITY TIMER (1-30 secs, *NOMAX)
          -This value determines when the print driver closes the
connection
           after no files are in ready status.
          -*NOMAX = The print driver maintains the connection until the
writer
           is ended.  The device will not be capable of being shared.
 
        HOST PRINT TRANSFORM = *YES
 
        REMOTE LOCATION = THE PRINTERS IP ADDRESS OR HOST NAME
 
        PORT NUMBER = 9100, 2501, OR OTHER DEDICATED PCL/PJL PORT NUMBER
          -Specify 9100 for all HP, Lexmark, and most IBM printers
  
  (ex.  HP4, IBM4039, IBM4049, OPTRAx)
          -Specify 2501 for IBM Network Printers (ex.  IBM4317)
          -If neither of these values are successful then consult your
           printer's manufacturer to determine if your printer has a
           dedicated port that accepts PCL/PJL commands.
 
        SYSTEM DRIVER PROGRAM = *IBMPJLDRV OR *HPPJLDRV
          -Specify *IBMPJLDRV for all IBM Printers (ex.  IBM4039,
IBM4049, IBM4317).
          -Specify *HPPJLDRV for HP and HP compatible printers.
 
        ALL OTHER PARAMETERS SHOULD BE SPECIFIED LIKE ANY OTHER PRINTER.
 



NOTE: If the MarkNet is on a local LAN, at V3R7+ you can specify
LANATTACH(*LEXLINK) on the CRTDEVPRT.
This gives you a higher level of control/function for the printer - BUT
- the Lexlink protocol is not routable so it probably won't work for the
WAN.

If you do use *LEXLINK protocol (you can still use it at earlier
releases although LANATTACH(*LEXLINK) isn't a supported parameter on
CRTDEVPRT - and you can still attach printers using basic *IP connection
with the MarkNet) you need to add three SSAP's to your line description:

LexLink Protocol - required SSAP's

ETHERNET:       
SSAP list:

  SSAP type  . . . . . . . . . . > *SNA

  SSAP maximum frame . . . . . . > *MAXFRAME
  SSAP type  . . . . . . . . . . > *NONSNA   
                                             
  Source service access point  . > AA        
  SSAP maximum frame . . . . . . > *MAXFRAME
  SSAP type  . . . . . . . . . . > *NONSNA   

Here's an example of a LexLink printer, using the LexLink protocol,
from my V4R1 system:

CRTDEVPRT DEVD(LEXPRINT01)     
          DEVCLS(*LAN)         
          TYPE(3812)           
          MODEL(1)             
          LANATTACH(*LEXLINK)  
          SWTLINLST(TRLINE1)   
          ADPTADR(0020002201F9)
          ADPTTYPE(*EXTERNAL)  
          ADPTCNNTYP(*PARALLEL)
          PORT(1)              
          ATTACH(*DIRECT)      
          ONLINE(*NO)          
          FONT(11 *NONE)       
          FORMFEED(*CONT)      
          INACTTMR(*SEC15)     
          TRANSFORM(*YES)      
          MFRTYPMDL(*IBM42082)                            
          PPRSRC1(*CONT132)                               
          PPRSRC2(*NONE)                                  
          ENVELOPE(*NONE)                                 
          TEXT('IBM Proprinter XL24E - via Lexlink adapter')



For an *IP connection - try this (not tested):

CRTDEVPRT DEVD(TCPIPPRT01)         
          DEVCLS(*LAN)             
          TYPE(3812)               
          MODEL(1)                 
          LANATTACH(*IP)           
          PORT(1)                  
          FONT(011)                
          PARITY(*NONE)            
          STOPBITS(1)              
          TRANSFORM(*YES)          
          MFRTYPMDL(*IBM4039HP)    
          RMTLOCNAME('10.10.1.81') 
          SYSDRVPGM(*IBMPJLDRV)    
          TEXT('text field')       



Also, you may want to try looking in "AS/400 Printing IV" Redbook (on
line library at http://as400bks.rochester.ibm.com/library.htm
select English, Redbooks, Search on "AS/400 Pringing IV"), and also in
the V3R7 library try:
