RE: printer not varying on

If this has all been working then I would consider resetting/rebooting the SNA 
server if you haven't already. Are there any displays on the SNA server? Are 
they working. Are the printers all on the same port or on several ports?

[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]

We have a AS/400 530-2153. They are connected to various branches through 
Ethernet and SDLC line. The problem now with the branch printers. They seem to 
be just in Vary On Pending status. We can't seem to get them to Active status.

These are 5224 IBM printers.  These printers are connecting through NT server. 
The NT server is connected through a router and this router is connected 
through another router. This router is connected to the AS/400. We are using 
Microsoft SNA Server 5250 emulation.

These printers are connected to virtual controllers and virtual printer 
devices. Only the controllers are on Active status while the devices are in 
Vary On Pending. So, the writers are not starting. For your information, we are 
running Version 3 Release 7.

Solutions please.

TIA.
