You must forgive my broad brush-strokes on this, I am not a wondoze specialist. There was a windows-2000-server system on the same (ethernet) network/subnet as my iSeries server, it was configured to be the print-server for the office and had many printer queues. I configured the iSeries remote outq's with the print-server's IP address and the appropriate queue name at the server. The effects of sending it via the print-server were: a) the contention for the use of the printer was managed by the server - previously contention had caused the iSeries outq to freeze b) the 'send' from the iSeries to the print-server was much quicker, especially noticeable for long reports, and resulted in no data loss c) the print-data-stream flow control between the print-server and the printer handled the 'printer memory full' condition, again no data loss. Direct printing iSeries to printer using rmtoutq was an effective quick-and-dirty solution for low volume (ppm) printers, and where the reports were always just a few pages. Kind regards, Jeffrey E.

Mike Jeff Bull <Jeff.Bull@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:It may be that you have a flow control problem. I was using an IP remote outq, from the iSeries straight to the printer - when the printer memory was full, the data kept coming. On large prints, on occasions we lost many pages. The resolution was to sent it to the windows-based print server, this respooled the data to disk and handles the print-data stream flow control in a more secure fashion. Kind regards, Jeffrey E.

The upper right hand corner of the spool file display shows the page / line number that are in the spool file. Does what is in the spool file agree with what you are expecting as far as last line on each page? Bob Kohlndorfer Unbeaten Path International ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Berman" To: "Midrange Systems Technical Discussion" Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 2004 6:59 PM Subject: Remote Outq problem of skipping lines I have created a remote outq description for an IBM 6400 printer. It is not *LAN or PRTLAN description, because the 6400 has its own network card. So the emulation is PROPRINTER ETHERNET. It prints the first page of the pick tickets, but then for the subsequent pages, it skips some lines, rendering the printout useless. The overflow line of the print file, is 60, yet the actual lines printed are 50. So the creating RPG program, has an OVRPRTF, that does some adjusting to the Overflow line. However, I am not sure if this is the problem or not. So before I tear into the spaghetti code, Do you think the problem is located w. the printer or not.
