RE: HP Laserjets on TCP/IP

["Weaver, Melenie" <MelenieW@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The easiest way that I know of to do what you want is to set up your
Network printers as *LAN.  It sounds like your printers are set up as a
remote outque.  One lets the AS400 do its thing, the other (RMT OUTQUE)
lets the NIC on the printer do it.  You have no control over paging
stop/start, it spools the whole job to the printer.  Hope this helps.

I had hoped that IBM would have fixed this by now, but at least the
support 
center knows how to answer it -- not so when TCP/IP printing was first 
introduced.  The easiest way to do it is to point a native OUTQ at a
remote 
device.  What _I_ usually do is point a Rumba, NetSoft, or CA printer at
the 
desired network device.  Reports sent to said outq can then be changed
to 
handle page ranges and number of copies...
