Not sure what variations you've tried, but the IBM Knowledge Base
lists the HP2055 recommended HPT as *HP5SI (not the hp4000 you have used).
I've had much better results with their recommendations.
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas1ba0863cfa6463903862569c100
78c903

Also, in the printer itself, check if a timeout value (almost always have to

increase it).
Have also had good results with the snmp option (driver pgm *IBMSNMPDRV) -
other parms are the same.

Finally, have you replaced a printer that had decent memory with one with
very limited memory?

I added an HP2055dn to our iseries to print checks. The device is
configured
as follows:



CRTDEVPRT DEVD(HP2055230) DEVCLS(*LAN) TYPE(3812) MODEL(1) +

LANATTACH(*IP) PORT(9100) ATTACH(*DIRECT) ONLINE(*YES) +

FONT(011 *NONE) FORMFEED(*AUTOCUT) SEPDRAWER(*FILE) +

PRTERRMSG(*INQ) MSGQ(*CTLD) ACTTMR(170) INACTTMR(*SEC15) +

LINESPEED(19200) WORDLEN(8) PARITY(*NONE) STOPBITS(1) +

TRANSFORM(*YES) MFRTYPMDL(*HP4000) PPRSRC1(*LETTER) +

PPRSRC2(*NONE) ENVELOPE(*NONE) ASCII899(*YES) +

IMGCFG(*IMGA02) CHRID(*SYSVAL) RMTLOCNAME('192.168.0.230') +

SYSDRVPGM(*HPPJLDRV) TEXT('HP Laserjet P2055dn .230') +

PUBLISHINF(*UNKNOWN *UNKNOWN *UNKNOWN *UNKNOWN *BLANK +

(*UNKNOWN))



The external printer file uses both a fntchrset for the micr font along
with
an overlay for headings and such (no logos).



Prior to printing I issue:

CHGPRTF FILE(APCHKPRTP) FRONTOVL(APLIB/APCHKOVL *SAME *SAME)
OUTQ(HP2055230) hold(*yes)



I am having 2 problems. The first being that the printer pauses after
printing X number of pages. The spool file has 12 pages, it printed 2 then
paused, then 3 more and paused, etc.



The second problem is that when it first starts printing, I get a CPA403D
(Operator action required on device HP2055230 (C R)) message in which I
respond with an "R". When the checks print, it doesn't print the micr
font.
It prints the raw data (C999391C A990091998A 99009998C). If I then try to
reprint from the same spool file, it prints correctly.



Can anyone shed some light on either of these issues?
