Re: remote writer

what port number? and does it match what the printer is configured for?
When you said they "rerouted" the printers, I wonder if they changed the
port# used on printer...?
The port# in the remote wtr definition must match what the printer is using
for a port.
And your network guys need to know they cannot arbitrarily change it.

The error message says the port is not found.

My response really relates to remote printing that sometimes works, like
printer getting 40 pages into a report and hangs in the SND status, or after
a long
report, the next report hangs in the SND status. That's where the timeout
value
on the printer itself, or a print server card like Jet Direct, is important,
and generally
needs to be increased.
Your problem is more of a "not talking to it at all".
If you do a WRKOUTQ QEZJOBLOG and look for latest joblogs of the
printer jobs, you might find some detail in there that sheds some light.
