Re: Looking for an AS/400 printer "boot camp"

Since no school exists like that
(<grin>unless you want to come to my town, Greensboro, and
I take credit cards</grin>) but I would start with the list of
printers that are known to work or not work with the iSeries
that IBM updates in it's free Knowledge Base online - then threaten

and printers only supported as "rmtoutq" are discouraged (less flexible).
The previously mentioned Redbooks are good. This list has a lot of archive
material for printing. You may want to formulate some detailed questions
before spending 2 days with a manual.

Subject: Looking for an AS/400 printer "boot camp"

Greetings:

I am on a Quest. I seek something like a "printer boot camp" that would
cover every known AS/400 ... i Series ... Series i ... printing issue,
from configuration through management to "we have to have this label to
ship, and we need it NOW" troubleshooting. I deal with 4234 dot matrix
dinosaurs, thermal barcode label printers, all the way to color laser
printers every day, not always as successfully as I would like. On too
many occasions I fix something and have no idea what I just did. The idea
of setting up a brand new TYPE of printer, not one I can clone from
something we already have, makes me twitch because it means becoming an
indentured servant to an IBM manual for two days.

The ideal situation would be a whole week spent somewhere that a person
would actually like to be, like the Caribbean. About 7 hours a day in the
computer lab and the same snorkeling might be good. Snowshoeing in Banff
(where inkjets output in colour) could be nice, too.

Anyway, the method of delivery (and, unfortunately, the location) are
highly negotiable. The key qualification is that the training must cover
the topic in depth.
