RE: Setting up a new printer

["Newton, Rob" <RNewton@xxxxxxxxxx>]

 Nick,
Nick,

 I have a few HP2100 and HP2200 printers on our AS/400.  They basically
have the same setup.  I took some screen captures of the device
description and the outq setup.  The one thing you might want to check
into is the workstation customizing object.

Hope this helps!!!

Subject: Setting up a new printer



Hello everyone,

I know this isn't about MAPICS but, here goes.

I have an HP 2100 printer I am trying to setup on my AS/400.  I can't
hook
it up locally, so I am setting it up as a remote, using TCP/IP.  Also,
it
is connected to our LAN.  When I print something from our network, it
works
fine.  When I PING it from the AS400, it pings good.

The problem is, when I set it up by creating a Device Description for
it, I
can get the SPLF to the PND status, but no further (no messages,
nothing).
After I hold by output, and end the Writer/Printer the only printout I
get
is 3 little smiley faces in the top left corner of my paper, 2 are white
and 1 is black.

Here are the parms I am using to set it up with:
CRTDEVPRT  devd(ITTEST) devcls(*LAN) type(*IPDS) model(0) lanattach(*IP)
afp(*YES) port(9100) online(*YES) font(011)
formfeed(*autocut) sepdrawer(*FILE) seppgm(*NONE) prterrmsg(*INQ)
msgq(*CTLD) acctmr(170) imgcfg(*NONE) maxpndrqs(6) prtcvt(*YES)
formdf(F1C10110) rmtlocname("my IP address of my printer")
usrdfnopt(*NONE)
usrdfnobj(*NONE) usrdtatfm(*NONE) usrdrvpgm(*NONE) text("IT Laser
Printer")
rmtnetid(*NETATR) wscst(*NONE) aut(LIBCRTAUT).  This will create my
device
and outq.

I think this is why I write software and don't normally work with the
hardware end of things.

Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
