IPDS is both a format of data as well a protocol that gives you all the cmd and control functions available on twinax even when the printer uses TCP/IP. __________________________________________________ Kirk Goins IBM Certified iSeries Technical Solutions Expert Pacific Information Systems - An IBM Premier Business Partner 503-674-2985 kirkg@pacinfosys.com -----Original Message----- From: Weatherly, Howard [mailto:hweatherly@dlis.dla.mil] Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 11:02 AM To: Midrange-L (E-mail) Subject: HP 8100 Printer This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] We have an HP8100 printer that is network attached and I have defined a CA session and created a device for the printer and that part worked fine. However the good folks forgot to mention that this printer needs to print APU IPDS stuff so those reports just sit in the queue waiting for the printer to be IPDS capable. Meanwhile I attempted to define an IPDS printer using the IP address and other things related to the 8100 but no joy, the device attempts to start but quits immediately. I suspect for one thing that I needed to get rid of the other device that I created for a standard ASCII device and did not! now I can't get the original device to come alive, I get the message "Printer powered off or not yet available" (according to the operator, the printer was in power save mode) So I guess I have two questions, what diabolical deed did I do to screw up the original definition ? and How can I get an 8100 to do IPDS work?
