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

Rich,
HOW are your printers connected ?
Is there a gateway for printing to the pc printers ?
Is there third party software involved ?
I had exactly the same problem with a "printer- gateway"
when switching to V5R2 ...

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?
