Re: LPR printer writer abends

["Paul Tykodi" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jay,

>From your posting, it sounds like you might have an OS/400 definition
mismatch in that you have activated the System Driver Program *HPPJLDRV
within a remote output queue definition. Remote Output Queues are defined to
use LPR transport and not a TCP Raw Socket.

If this is not the problem, the OS/400 message means it was unable to
establish a connection to port 515 on the JetDirect interface. The most
usual reason is that the printer was busy at that moment servicing a print
request from a different host and the IBM host timed out. The XAUTOQ feature
of a remote output queue is the best method of overcoming this difficulty.

I have some examples of how to configure both a remote output queue and *LAN
printer in pdf format. I would be happy to send them to you off list. Please
let me know if this would be useful.

HTH

Best Regards,

/Paul
