Getting a HP Jetdirect to work through routers

["Roger Vicker, CCP" <rvicker@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am having trouble getting some HP Jetdirect servers to work with an
AS/400 through routers. The AS/400 is working with Jetdirects on its
local network (CRTDEVPRT *HPT) but when I use the same process through
routers the writer times out after about 3 minutes and the spool file
never changes from RDY. Sprint claims that they didn't block any ports
in the routers.

The layout is:

AS/400 @ 10.0.0.1 mask 255.255.0.0 on an otherwise Novel network
Cisco router @ 10.0.0.254
Frame Relay by Sprint
Cisco router @ 10.2.0.254
Local peer to peer (Windows xxxx) network 10.2.#.# mask 255.255.0.0
but with a WINS server @ 10.2.1.57
The AS/400 has the WINS tab pointed to the local WINS server.

CAE and file server works OK. Local PCs can use the Jetdirects. The
AS/400 can ping the Jetdirects by address and the CRTDEVPRT uses the
address, not a host name.

Where do I look next?
