A note that many Os400 Print ptfs don't make it into the cume.
In the IBM Knowledge Base, in the Print section, there are a number
of documents that list the Print ptfs.
A partial list
V5Rx PTF Listing for Print/Spool
V5Rx PTF Listing for iSeries Access for Web (Print)
V5Rx PTF Listing for host Print Transform ....
and more..
Any ptf in these lists in cume 1000 means it is not in a cume.
(btw - please lobby IBM to create a "group" for print ptfs! For shops doing
a mix of lan, hpt, afpds, ipds, etc this is a mess to manage).
If you had installed a new revision of an Infoprint board I can see there
may be ptfs needed.

> We have a guy that comes in and take care of that for us.  The issue came
up because we have two Infoprint 70 printers that the IBM tech. came out and
update the driver information on them.  On one of the printer we have a
display that it's printing, the system says it printing, but nothing is
coming out.  IBM has changed the board in the printer and several other
thing to correct the problem.  Now they are saying that we need to update
our PTF'S.  My question to them is if this is true, why we don't have this
problem on the other printer?
