Re: IBM 4317 Network Printer Config -- MIDRANGE-L

Neil,

We have similar config for our NP17's, but we use port 5001. Were using IPDS so that may be talking through a different port. My biggest suggestion is that you have the very latest manuals for the printers. They can be found at http://www.printers.ibm.com/manuals.html

There were significant updates from the manual we received with the printer and the one on the web. It also goes into the printer settings required as well as /400 config.

Paul,
Thanks for the reply. I was at that very web page last night but didn't
see anything I didn't already know (and it's about time they posted an
example using the *IBMPJLDRV option there isn't it !).
Figure they must have the printer configured wrong, because everything
looks OK on the AS/400 side.
Would anyone using this type of setup happen to have a configuration
page from a 4317 printer itself they would be willing to fax me, so I
can compare what they did to their printer ?
