Re: AS400 Printing to HP8550 ColorlaserJet

Don't know about that printer, but I would check the timeout value on the
printer first.

I've never had problems printing to the HP laser printers from the AS400
until now.  I have other laser printers ( HP9000 ) in the building working
fine but this particular printer will not.

I have the device description set properly, like the other *LAN defined HP
printers and with the correct IP address, but every time I attempt to start
the writer, it fails and gives me the standard C or R reply when trying to
access a device.  I have rechecked the IP address and verified it is
correct.

I have been successfully able to build a REMOTE OUTQUE to this printer and
print to it that way but I would prefer to have it defined with a Device
Description and a true *LAN class setup.
The printer is an HP8550 Colorjet printer with a JetDirect NIC.   Is there
some onboard setting on the printer I need to change.  The fact it prints
via the Remote Qutque method makes me suspicious there may be some minor
setting I need to change.

Anything specific to this particular printer would be appreciated.
