the ibm support page indicates the printer has several options or modes:
P-series
P-series XQ
Serial
IBM Proprinter
Expson FX
Which is your printer set to (this is on printer, not in iSeries) ?

In the iSeries rmtoutq - which mfrtypmdl did you choose?
It would help to show us the configuration.

Subject: Configuring p5210 Printronix printer

I currently have 2 p5215 printronix printers that are twinax attached to my
iseries running V5R3. We decided to purchase a p5210 printronix printer
that will be ethernet attached to do the same type of printing.

I have tried configuring the p5210 as a rmtoutq and also as a *lan device,
neither of which has worked. I have fould the printers on the ASCII
printers support page from IBM.

The printer has printed, but bar codes are coming out as straight text,
lpi and cpi are ignored, page spacing and skipping is incorrect. I
obviously do not have this setup correctly.

This printer will be in a remote location, needs to print bar code
(IGP/VGL printing) and just plain old ordinary green bar reports.

If anyone has already done this and has it working, could you point me in
the right direction. I think I have configuration issues on both the
printer and iseries side.
