Loyd,

I just went through this with H-P printers that were replaced with Dell.
Thus my Help! Post.  :-)  The correct HPT type for the W5300 is *LEXOPTRA.
Since I got that fixed they have been working great!

Regards,

Mike Shaw

Subject: Confused about printing

I have an IBM 4312 printer I'd like to replace with a Dell M5200. Using the
recent "Help! Best Host Print Transform for Dell W5300 Printer" thread as a
guide, I have set up the Dell as a *LAN/3812 with host print transform and
using the *IBMPJLDRV system driver. Currently no workstation customizing
object, user defined object, or data transformation program.

 

I was under the impression I was able to print IPDS spooled files with
barcodes to this printer, but the system holds the file. Also, printing
reports with MULTIUP(2) doesn't; it prints spooled files as if the multiup()
were not specified.

 

Somewhere else I read I could use the barcodes if I recompiled the DDS using
spooled file type AFPDS. However, I can't seem to get the Dell printer to be
an AFP capable printer with a device class of *LAN and type 3812.

 

Is there a "simple" matrix of which spooled file types work with which
printer types?

 

I have two goals with the Dell printer: 1) Support printing of bar codes -
how? What's the proper non-IPDS setup for the printer? 2) Support printing
of regular spooled files with MULTIUP(2). Is this an IPDS-only function or
is this supported with HPT?
