Re: Printer List

[MARK_WELTE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

If you created the TCP/IP printer with the CRTOUTQ command, then it is
actually not a printer, it is only an output queue. That is the reason why
users cannot put the name of the "printer" in the DEV parm of the CHGSPLFA
command. I'm not sure how to get it to show up as a printer in the list
that you specified.

If you are on V3R7 or greater, then you can actually use the CRTDEVPRT
command to specify the TCP/IP printer as an actual device. Use the
following command to do it:

CRTDEVPRT DEVD(TCPPRT) DEVCLS(*LAN) TYPE(3812) MODEL(1) LANATTACH(*IP)
PORT(9100) +
PARITY(*NONE) STOPBITS(1) TRANSFORM(*YES) MFRTYPMDL(*HP4) +
RMTLOCNAME('999.999.999.999') SYSDRVPGM(*HPPJLDRV) TEXT('TCP/IP printer')

This example is for an HP LaserJet 4. Note: this may not work with HP
laserjet 3 series printers. After varying on the device, you should be able
to see it on the system just like a regular printer. The only thing you
need to change on this example is the DEVD, MFRTYPMDL, and RMTLOCNAME
parameters if you are using a Laser Jet printer.

Good luck,
Mark Welte
