RE: HP LaserJet 2600n

Thanks for all the help everyone.

I set it up as you described below.  However, when I sent a report to
it, I got the message to change the forms, it went to WTR status, then
saved it when finished printing.  However, nothing ever printed at the
printer.  

Any more ideas - or is this printer just not compatible with printing on
the AS/400?

Thanks

Should be fairly straight forward this.

The instructions below are taken from IBM Redbook 'IBM AS/400 Printing 
V', section 11.2.2.

Do CRTDEVPRT and F4

Then:

 > Device description: The name of your printer (e.g. LJ2600)
 > Device class: *LAN
 > Device type: 3812
 > Device model: 1

[Enter]

Change the 'LAN attachment' parameter to *IP.

[Enter]

 > Port number: is normally '9100' for HP printers.
 > Online at IPL: *YES
 > Font identifier: 11 (is suggested in the RedBook)
 > Form feed: *AUTOCUT

[Enter]

Page Down to:

 > Activation timer: 170
 > Inactivity timer: *SEC15 (or *NOMAX if nothing else will use the
 >    printer)

[Enter] or Page Down until:

 > Manufacturer type, model: *HP5SI
 > Paper source 1: Enter your default paper format (e.g. *A4).
 > Paper source 2: As above
 > Envelope source: If required, or *NONE

Page Down until:

 > Remote location: The IP address of your printer ("192.168.1.50").
 > System driver program: *HPPJLDRV
 > Text 'description': A description for your printer.

[Enter]

And you're done!
