Re: HELP!!! Problems w/ host print transform lan-attached printers after V5R2 upgrade

Rich, if I'm not wrong similar problems occurred also when migrating from
version 4 to 5 ............ it was due to a specific PTF but I don't
remember more about that ....... sorry

Anyway, did you try using printers defined by  *DEVD ?

Well, it's the Monday after upgrading to V5R2, and I have my disaster.

We have many printers that are attached to our AS/400 via TCP/IP.  They are
set up as plain old remote outq's with "Host Print Transform" set to *YES.
Last week, they were printing without issue.

Today, all of these printers are having the same problem - only part of the
page is printing.  All of my printers are set up as '*HP4' will only print
the first 74 characters of each page of a 132 position report (the output
of the DSPLICKEY cmd).  I set one up as a '*HP1100', and it only printed
the first 97 positions of another 132 chracter report (output from a DSPFD
cmd).

This just moved from "how annoying" status to "mobilize the National Guard"
status because we print our AP checks to a lan-attached printer, and the
checks came out incorrect because (drumroll please...) only the first 74
chracters got sent!

I do not get a second spool file with the remaining section on it - the
spool files are correct if you look at them.  For whatever reason, the
printers are only getting part of the report.

Does anyone have any suggestions/ideas?
