Re: 4224 works on V4R4 and malfunctions on V5R1

I noticed similar weird behaviour when I moved a 4224 from a V4R5 model 
170 to a new V5R2 model 270 on the weekend.  It would drop contact with 
the system quite often.  I solved the problem by moving it to a different 
twinax port (I manually altered the device description port #, didn't let 
auto-config do anything, and it's worked fine ever since).

This sounds like a physical defect rather than a software issue.

Did you physically move the printer to attach it to this new machine?
Hopefully no physical damage was done.

Did you unload/reload paper to attach it to this new machine?
Maybe you adjusted your paper thickness wrong.

I have two 4224 *IPDS printers hooked up to a V4R2 machine and they work
fine.  I move them to a new V5R1 machine and they hardly print at all.
Funny scratching by the print head and sporadic print lines but never
anything close to a full report.  For example, they won't print a standard
report from QPRINT.  Put them back ont he V4R2 machine and all is fine.

Anyone seen this?  PTF?

TIA,

Jerry
