  • Subject: TCP/IP - LAN printing
  • From: "Boyer, Barry" <bboyer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We have an AS/400 running V4R2 in a WAN environment.  TCP/IP is configured
and working.  Most of our printing is "distributed"...meaning the users
control their own output and need to print to local printers--these local
printers are now on the WAN using HP JetDirect print servers.

If we print direct to the HPJetDirect using LPR/LPD and a remote outque we
are fine except we loose spool control (can't print page 2-4 out of a 500
page job)... so we devised some OS/2 computers running Comm Mgr as
"interfaces" (don't ask -- this part is ugly).

I thought I read that under V4RX it's now possible to maintain spool control
and print directly to these devices.  Support line personnel have been
marginally helpful.  Anyone have a suggestion of a "book" or step-by-step
documentation on how to accomplish this (I just gotta get rid of those OS/2
computers).

Thanks!
