Just for FYI... To have control over the CPI for the Remote out queues, you need to change the Font identifier in the printer file attributes to *CPI. This solved my problem.

Hi Everyone (Brad), When I try printing on a remote printer, I am not able to have control over CPI (Characters per inch), and LPI (lines per inch), but the local printer is printing it in the format I want. The remote printer is chopping off the starting and ending characters. And even the font size is bigger than what I specified. I have changed the page rotation attribute for the printer file as 0 to make it print in portrait format, It looks fine on the local one, But remote printer doesn’t listen to me. Hey Brad, I was just looking at the mail you posted on 02/26/98 about the same problem, where you mentioned about some Work station customization objects ( WSCST).. I tried looking at your web page I couldn’t find anything about WSCST. What are these WSCST??? :-( I am really stuck, your suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

It's not more difficult, but it does take time to learn. You are going to want to use workstation customization objects (WSCST) for your remote printers to control things such as font, CPI, LPI, etc. I have two examples of WSCST objects on my webpage if you want to take a look. They are for an HP5si. One allows regular 8.5x11 printouts landscape and the other prints them on 11x17 paper. http://prairie.lakes.com/~bvstone/as400sw.html Bradley V.

If I use an externally described printer file, lines per page, characters per inch, overflow line number, etc. are defined in the printer file. Will these parameters now need to be output for the particular printer? Do I need to make sure that my HEADER record in the printer file has the appropriate commands for the particular printer? We're using a Printronix P5009 with a build in Ethernet card. If I do need to create commands, this would mean that output going to an IBM 5225 could not be sent to a TCP/IP attached printer unless changes to the output specs/printer file were made, correct? It doesn't seem like many people are doing this type of thing. Maybe it's because it's more difficult than using IPDS.
