RE: IBM 6400 printer attached via ethernet

Eric, Vern and Buck,

I think that my older jetdirect 300x may not support SMNP. I'm trying to
confirm that. I do know that the 310 x supports SNMPv3.

As far as I know, my printing options are:

A Remote Output Queue

A PJL Device Description
    I don't think we can go  PJL Device Description because as far as I
know, these printers don't support PJL.

An IPDS Device Description
    I don't think these printers support IPDS

An SNMP Device Description

I was hesitant to go the remote outq option because of the known issues with
controlling the output.
I ended up downloading TSPRWPR, the Remote Writer Page Range Support Exit
Program to address
the page range issue.

I created a remote outq:

CRTOUTQ OUTQ(QUSRSYS/PRT99) RMTSYS(*INTNETADR) RMTPRTQ(PR1) AUTOSTRWTR(1)
 CNNTYPE(*IP) DESTTYPE(*OTHER) TRANSFORM(*NO) USRDTATFM(QGPL/TSPRWPR) MFR
TYPMDL(*IBM6400) INTNETADR('XX.XXX.X.XX') DESTOPT(XAIX)

and a dummy device description:

 CRTDEVPRT DEVD(PRT99) DEVCLS(*VRT) TYPE(3812) MODEL(1) ONLINE(*NO)
FONT(011)

I sent a spool file to the outq and it printed. The alignment was off, but
I'm not sure it was properly aligned to begin with.
I'll continue to experiment with that.

Thanks for you help.
