Re: TCP/IP Printing -- MIDRANGE-L

Hi Gary!

Since you helped me out before on this IP printing through the 
midrange-l I thought maybe I would try picking your brain on this 
one.  My first problem is I have set up our new IBM 6400 Line printer 
as an IP printer.  I can ping this device but when I create my output 
queue the same as all my HP LaserJet 4000's the output just sits on 
*SND but doesn't go anywhere.

Here is my output queue specs.

Any suggestions, thoughts, ideas?

Also, I would like to really set this up giving the users the ability 
to control their output as far as change of forms goes.  I thought I 
would be able to use the CRTDEVPRT but the way it shows you in the 
NEWS400 I don't have the same options. (i.e. LANATTACH) We are on 
V3R2.  Any other ideas?


I hope you don't mind the questions and sorry if I have bothered 
you at a bad time.
