Re: Printers monitoring

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would check the IBM Knowledge Base for articles on RMTOUTQ.
If you are using hp jet direct or other mfgr hardware there can be
timer or timeout settings on the printer that should be adjusted.
Where ever possible, use *Lan config instead of rmtoutq.
Also search knowledge base for lan printing ptfs. For some reason
many of these don't make the cume's, and I wish IBM would make a new
"group ptf" for printing.

in *WTR mode. After a while the user will call to say that the report is not
printing. Then the spool file is help, the writer is stopped, started,
release the spool and all is well. I would like to be pro-active about this.
Is there a condition that I can monitor for that would run these steps as
soon as necessary?
