RE: TCP/IP Printing

It sounds like you're planning to just connect the printer by remote
output queue support.
The 6400 does, I believe, have an IPDS option, which will allow you to
connect by running a CRTDEVPRT command, and will give you full control
over printing including full error recovery to the page level.

See the article 'Industrial-Strength Printing with TCP/IP' by Bill
Shaffer in the December/97 issue of News/400 (page 120).
