  • Subject: Attaching HP Laser Printers to the AS/400
  • From: Chuck Lewis <CLEWIS@xxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Folks !

New job, new environment, not where it needs to be but will get there
EVENTUALLY :-)

Need to find a GOOD way to attach HP laser printers to the AS/400.

We DO NOT have a network (yet) and we are NOT running TCP/IP (yet)  -
was doing both of these at my last job and miss that here... - just have
"good 'ole twinax" here...

We have HP 4's, 5's and one BIG  HP 5 SI...

We are using Decision Data  terminals (when they work...) and I have
managed to attach any one of the above mentioned printers to a DD and
get it to print, with mixed results...

>From there it gets murky. There are a TON of different parameters for
printing to configure on the terminal and some are obvious choices, some
are not.

I'm wondering if it would just be easier to get the terminal out of the
mix and "direct connect" these printers to the AS/400 and was wanting to
know what others had done along these lines.

Thanks in advance !

Chuck
