Remote Network Printer Connection

[Jeff Glenn <Jeff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

We would like to use a Xerox Document Centre 265ST device to print
invoices and so far we're getting as far as a Pending (PND) status or
SND status. More info below. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Does
it require something like a JetDirect device?  I can ping the IP
address. I'm about to try Host print transform . . . . . .   *NO.

Thanks,
Jeff

Message . . . . :   Connection with device INVOICETST is being retried.
Cause . . . . . :   A session cannot be established with the device at
  RMTLOCNAME [nn.nn.nn.nn], using PORT 0.  The error code is 22.  This
indicates
  one of the following conditions:
22:      The device did not respond to a connection request.
    20-39:   A recoverable communications failure occurred.
Recovery  . . . :   The connection is being retried automatically. To
change
  the number of retries performed by PSF/400, you use a PSF
configuration
  object (CRTPSFCFG or CHGPSFCFG) which must be specified in printer
device
  description INVOICETST using parameter USRDFNOBJ. Change the value
specified
for RETRY in the PSF configuration object.
  Error code 22: The device may be temporarily unavailable or it is
disconnected from the network. If the device is temporarily unavailable,
you
may not have to take any action.
