Well, duhhh...  Thanks for wacking me in the head.  After varying it on I
was able to start the writer and print something.  The copier is at another
location and I was on site yesterday.  Now I just need to find somebody
there to verify that it looks good.  Thanks a bunch!

Dave,

This is an actual printer device, not a remote writer.

You need to vary on the device before the writer can start, the same as
you would for a twinax or *IPDS LAN connected printer.  (You did read
the message right ;-)

Scott, you're my hero.  At the moment Charles is coming in a
close second.
I appreciate looking everything up and even putting together
the command
for me.  I entered the command and got the device created.
My question now
is how do I start it?  I tried STRPRTWTR and it looks like
it's trying to
start but I get the error below.  Do I need a different
command to get it
started or do you think that it's a case that the config of the device
isn't quite what the system wants?  In the past I've done
STRRMTWTR for
remote OUTQ's.  I looked for similar commands that might be for *LAN
printer devices but nothing jumped out at me.

Thanks Charles and Scott.  It's made by Imagistics (Pitney
Bowes and Oce
merger).  The configuration page that it prints out states
that it's a
model ipc1-im8130.

I went to the following Web site:
http://www.imagistics.com/products/downloads.asp

And looked up the technical specs for the im8130, and it
states that it
supports PCL5e/PCL6 as it's standard print language, and also supports
PostScript 3 via emulation.

I followed the link to

http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas1455d75b61c75f
dcc86256a1e00532f93

and was wondering if the model OC3133 setup would work since it's a
multifunction device and is listed as PostScript 3.

Ignore the "PostScript" part of it.  You won't be using
PostScript if you
follow the instructions on that page.  Instead, look for
something that
discusses PCL5e or PCL6.  When I look at that page, I see
that all of the
Oc printers support PCL5e/PCL6, and they all should be set up
using the
*HP5SI MFRTYPMDL.

Also, I started looking through the config for the copier
itself.  Under
the "raw job settings" it has settings for PCL font
options.  If PCL is
the
way to go then how do I specify that in the OUTQ config?
Since it lists
"host-based" as N then do I set Host Print Transform to *NO?

No, "host-based" and "Host Print Transform" are two very
different things.
"host-based" means that the printer doesn't understand any printer
languages -- with a host-based printer, you MUST use the
Windows printer
driver, or you're out of luck.  This is usually the case with
very cheap
single-user PC printers.  Yours is "host based = NO" which is a good
thing.

Host Print Transform is software in i5/OS that lets the
system transform
it's native printer languages (SCS and AFPDS) to a PC printer language
like PCL or PPDS.  That's how you tell it to convert to PCL
(which is what
you want.)

This is my best guess for how to set up the printer...
