I wonder if it's an Anzac. We have an HP5SI with an Anzac twinax
adapter.

We're right now getting rid of the very last of our twinax printers.

An ethernet 6500 to replace a couple of I-don't-remember-what-they-are
big ol' twinax printers. (We've converted some 6400s from twinax to
ethernet.)

Two 4247-003 printers to replace similar but much older twinax
printers. (I was working just today on getting one of these
configured and tested.)

And we're pulling the Anzac card out of the HP5SI.

Nope. It's an HP with some sort of twin-ax adapter. I haven't seen it for a
few years, so I'm not sure about the adapter.

Depends on what printer he currently has as to what might replace it.

Does he have a large 6400 type printer that he really likes ???
or
a low end table top ?

Big twinax printers are loved by many and a laser doesn't do it for
that crowd.

These are the guys that built several of the IBM printers including the
big dog
lasers.

Speaking of TCP laser printers, is anybody using them for printing checks?

By "blindly shooting" I assume you mean you are using remote outq support.
This doesn't have the full feedback capability that setting up a regular
printer affords you. Depending on the printer and how much you want to
interact, a TCP printer can work pretty much like the twinax printer. Just
walk through the wizard in System i Navigator and set up a local lan
printer. You can still get messages for forms changes - as a matter of
fact
they can be quite annoying when you get used to not having them!


One reason we went to TCP based laser printers (forced us off twinax
character and dot matrix printers) was so that we could get rid of special
forms. Everything prints on white 8x11 now. Labels were a problem for a
while until we just decided to print those on PC based printers (Word is
much better at managing the different label formats than I could ever be)
or
on the Zebra printers we have in the factory and distribution. You might
want to consider this to be a chance to change your paradigm on printing
"forms".

Subject: TCP/IP printing from AS400

Hi,

For years we've been blindly shooting reports to IP based printers from
our
400.
It works so well that we haven't touched them in years.

However, since we are moving from V5R1 to V7R1 we have to replace our main
twinax printer with IP based.

My question is if there is a guide or reference to have forms management
and other user control/options via TCP/IP?
We've enjoyed this with twinax, as well as in the windows world, but have
not figured it out for AS400 IP printing.

Appreciate any tips or links in getting us to the next level.

Thanks in advance for your time...james

Ken
