RE: Problem with Canon network printer

Darrell/Albert:
Here is the DEVD I am using with the Cannon Image Runner:
I use a WSC option called IBMLASERS that I created a long time ago.  I use
it mostly to make the font a little bigger on landscape 132 column reports.
(its hard getting old).  If you would like it saved to a save file, email me
directly.

IIRC, the key to getting this to work correctly was the printer error
message parm.  Seems that *INQ cased the printers to die all the time.  I
have also had this issue printing to Ricoh printers as well.  Disclaimer:
YMMV.

Let me know if you need more info.

Hi, Carl:

I would love any clues you might have on how to make the Imagerunners work
reliably. We are about to pull the plug on them for AS/400 output.

Mostly I am looking for the *basics* of how you made them work, not
necessarily the fine grit details -- although those would be appreciated as
well [grin].

Darrell

Hi Albert.. Is this one of the image runners?  I have a client with 
one,

and

it took me a while to get the comfit just right.  Are you using 9100 
or LPD/LPR printing?
