RE: TCP/IP Printing

["Albert Barron"<abarron@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sending jobs to an IBM3916 printer with a twinax to ethernet HP Jet
Direct.  I tested it here at the my shop and everything seemed to be
working fine, however, as soon as I moved the printer to our remote
location, all of the jobs would remain in "SND" mode.  That's when I was
told that you could create a local outque to do all of the Host Print
Transform, and point it out to the remote outque:

In other words:

Spooled file ---------> Local Outque --------> Remote Outque ------> IBM
3916 Printer

instead of

Spooled file --------> Remote Outque ---------> IBM 3916 Printer

This is a setup I use to send output from the AS/400 to an HP laserjet on
the lan.

The end result of this is that there is an output queue on the 400, when
spool files arrive there they go to a "SND" status and remain there until
they have been spooled to the buffer on the printer.

If you are sending to another AS/400, you will need to change the parms
slightly.  At that point, you would use the APPC/APPN connection between
400's, instead of TCP/IP, and when you do that, the data transfers from the
outque on the local system to the outque on the remote system.

I'm afraid I don't have any experience w/ UNIX or mainframe connections to
provide any insite there.

Will this work for a local outque going to a remote outq?

Does anyone know how to set up a remote outque to point to a local outque?
I'm trying to print to a remote printer via IP address, but it seems that
the files are spooling even after parameters have been set (host print
transform *yes).  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
