RE: AFP - *OVL issue

Hi Vern,

The printer that will be used ultimately is a Lexmark Optra S2455. I've
tried to print on this printer as well as a Lexmark Optra T620 and an IBM
Printer.

Host Print Transform is set-up on the remote queue. Here's some more info on
the way things are set-up here as there might be something preventing the
overlay to be displayed. The spool file is generated on Machine1 and ends up
in a generic Outq. It is then changed to go in an outq (LASERS3) for which
the set-up reads as follows:

Remote System        = Machine2
Remote Printer Queue = LASERS3
Connection Type      = SNA
Destination type     = *OS400


The file is then sent across on Machine2. The description of the Q on
Machine 2 is as follows:

Output queue . . . . . . . . . . > LASERS3       Name

Is the printer an IPDS printer. If not, you need to set up Host Print
Transform. Check the device description (or remote outq) for whether this
is set.
