Re: Printer Support

Thanks to all of you that gave me suggestions for setting up a new printer on
our AS400 - every person who replied seemed to have a good suggestion about
this. Our AS400 runs JDE and is used more and more as a database only - all our
new development is on the JDE NT based front end - that means there is more
stuff going to the printer in PDF format from NT than from AS400. It looks like
the users are really wanting a multifunction printer to share in the office
(espicially fax from desk) and the AS400 side is limited to printing standard
text reports and thats it, until JDE green screen is phased out completely and
we run on JDE OW completely. No stapling, no preprinted stationary, no factory
conditions or anything like that from the AS400 printing.



I'm going to have another look at their requirements and compare HP offerings
      with the sharp and cannon printers they are considering now.



thanks again, Lerwick
