Antonio,

I can assume a few things but perhaps you could supply a bit more
information.  I am assuming that when you reference the printers as NET
you are talking about printers attached via your LAN (ETH or TRN).

Can you clarify the printers configuration by including a copy of the
DEVD?

These printers run out of forms and you don't receive any inquiry message
on the AS/400?

Check the parameter PRTERRMSG on the printer and make sure it is set to *INQ.

Here is an example of one of our lan attached printers (IBM 4320):

We have in our shops quite a number of printers. Some of them are NET
printers, i.e. having their own IP address, not running under
ClientAccess or the like.
We are NOT using Remote Outq's. We rather have these Net Printers
defined as normal CRTDEVPRT devices. A typical case is for an IBM
INFOPRINT12

Everything works right, except ...

When any printer runs out of forms, a message is usually sent to either
QSYSOPR or any other queue which has been defined for that purpose.
This works as expected for normal printers, but NOT for these Net
printers.
How could we get a message being sent to some queue when any of these
printer run out of forms?

Are we missing something ? Just in case it makes any difference, we're
running V4R5.
