RE: IBM 1145 hole punch






Neil,

What protocol is being used? (IPDS, SNMP, IPP, PJL, LPD/LPR?)

If not IPDS, you might try to get the latest TSPRWPR from Rodney Johnson, 
Technical Team Lead for AS/400 Spool.

Here's a some quotes from this google thread:
http://tinyurl.com/6qkgr

"The version I am referring to is not available on the web.  It is a
newer version that works on V5R2 and up that I completed a few months
back.  I send to whoever is interested upon request.  The source will be
in the release following V5R3 (in qusrtool)."

"Part of the modification was to make it work with printer device
configurations as well as with the remote writer.  When used with a
printer writer, it still allows the printer driver to handle the page
range parts.  In that specific case it just prepends and appends the
appropriate PJL commands to start and stop stapling.  In theory, TSPRWPR
would then work with the SNMP, telnet 5250 printing, and LPR (remote
writer) to provide stapling and hole punching.  Course the version I
send out is written to only work with IBM 1145 and 1130 printers.  It is
also coded to supposedly work on the 4332 and 4324 printers, but was not
able to test and confirm.  Hopefully the code is written in a manner
that is easy to modify to match other printer finishers. "


If you're using IPDS, I think you'll have to wait till IBM add the 
support.  But I'd open a call with them just to be sure.  I ran into a 
similar problem, ie. new printer features the OS couldn't handle, when the 
dual-tractor 4247s came out.
