For Paul Nelson... The printer that my client uses to print checks from the
iSeries is a 501 series HP.

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.

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
