Anyone have one of these configured via CRTDEVPRT using the *IBMPJLDRV support ?
Have a customer on V4R1 at cum C8013410 with a device created using port 2501 
and when you do a STRPRTWTR you get a CPF337F   Remote device rejected an 
attempt by the writet to open a connection.  Which sort of implies that the 
NP17 isn't listening on port 2501 like it's supposed to.
Maybe they have it configured wrong ?
As a fallback we configured Remoute Output Queue support and did STRRMTWTR.  
Report just sits forever in *SND state  -  although everytime you PING the 
printer it responds fine.

(Of course, the HP LaserJet 5 configured same way with *HPPJLDRV worked
right first time !).   :-(

Dear Neil,

The AS/400 *LAN device description supports a TCP/IP sockets connection to the 
target IP device. This means it tries to write to a particular port in the 
ethernet or token ring adapter in the target printer.

When you use the remote output queue method, the AS/400 uses the parameter 
"Remote printer queue" to determine the name of the destination queue it will 
request when sending data to the target IP device. This means it passes the 
printable data to a pre-defined internal print queue that exists in the 
ethernet or token ring adapter that is installed in the target printer.

Since both of these methods have failed, it sounds like the network interface 
card in the IBM printer may not be set to its default configuration.

You might find some useful information at the IBM System Printer Co. website 
listed below.
