Re: Serial Printer on ethernet

[Jerome Draper <jdraper@xxxxxxx>]

Mary Jo,

If you can obtain Windows drivers for your printer you can attach it to a
Windows PC and use Synapse NetWolf (TCP/IP based display, printer, file
xfer to AS/400).  This PC would be attached via ethernet over TCP/IP to the
AS400.  A NetWolf printer session on the AS400 would then be directed to
print on your serial printer via the Windows drivers from the appropriate
outq on the AS/400.

A trial is available at http://www.synapse.com.
