Remote Printer

[MWalter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello all,

Is it possible to create a *LAN printer on a network segment that is
different from our AS/400's? Here is my situation. We have an HP8100
connected to our local network working perfectly as a LAN device type. We
also have another HP8100 series printer at a remote site. The sites are
connected via Frame relay. I tried to copy the device description for our
local 8100 and just change the IP address to the address of the remote
printer. I can ping the printer from an AS/400 command line. I vary the
device on and I can start the writer. The first time I tried to print to
the printer, I got a message stating that the 'Remote device rejected an
attempt by the writer to open an connection'. I placed the document on
hold, ended the writer, and varied off the device. I varied the device on
again , restarted the writer, and tried to release the document. I just
sets there at a RDY status.


Thanks in advance,

Mark
