Re: Remote Network Printer Connection

[Philipp Rusch <Philipp.Rusch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Buck,

I don't think the Xerox 265 is capable of the so called "IP-Port-Printing"
you are referring to. I don't even think that this beast is able to understand
HP PJL at all, so Host-Print Transform with *HPPJLDRV would lead in
that PND state forever.
A customer of mine has such a printer installed, when the Xerox-technician
came to install the network feature, he told me about ´some Unix OS running
inside the box and that had has to create an LPR-Queue on one of their
network-server to make it available to the PC-world.
No IP-port needed for this, the PC side works fine, but we are not using
this as an AS/400 printer at that site, sorry.
But the tip with "raw" as outqueue name should be worth trying, or try
something like "lp" or "PASSTHRU" values that Xerox documentation
mentions.

HTH, regards from germany, Philipp Rusch
