Re: Printing

be sure you are up on ptf's.  Here's my latest chart:

Below is what I think I have found for the current PTF's as of 2/3/99 as
your list states  "Order PTF cover letter II10918 for a list of the PTF's
required for your release"

IBM gives out the base PTF's and specificly when your order the PTF's by ECS
will order the suberceeded PTF for you along with any pre/coreq PTF's that
may be needed.  I'm NOT 100% SURE that if your order these PTF's listed
below that you will get everthing you need, but think you will.

Thanks to Jim Lowry at Synapse for the research.

BTW, we have many printing fine on V3R2 with Synapse WinAPPC and Synapse
NetWolf with no problems.

Hope this helps!
