Hi Brian, I downloaded the Xerox WC416 Windows Printer Driver for Win XP and printed a test document to file in order to see what printer language the device seemed to be supporting. It looks like it is one of the special "Windows Printers" so that trying to control its functionality with the PCL printer language is liable to not work very well. This type of "Windows Printer" device can work quite well with an i5-iSeries-AS/400 host and plain SCS data if you don't mind setting it up to be supported with a PC5250 session using a software like iSeries Access or Client Access Express. If you were to configure an iSeries Access or Client Access PC5250 print session to not use Host Print Transform (uncheck the box Transform Print Data to ASCII on iSeries or AS/400), the i5 OS - OS/400 EBCDIC data would be transferred natively from the i5-iSeries-AS/400 host to the PC running iSeries Access or Client Access. If you also make sure that you do not select the Use PDT checkbox, iSeries Access or Client Access will convert your EBCDIC data into a Windows format known as GDI on the PC running iSeries Access or Client Access. The GDI format is the generic input format required by Windows print drivers. In this configuration, you will be able to use the correct Xerox Windows print driver to format the i5-iSeries-AS/400 data and landscape printing will then be supported.
