Hi Jeff,

Just to verify: Your label software ensures that each label looks like "a page" to i5/OS? Usually barcode label printers like the Zebra line of printers, require the software to insert printer language into a spooled file, and i5/OS doesn't understand the codes. That means it's very possible to create 10 labels that look like 1 page to i5/OS, or to create a spooled file that looks like 10 pages to i5/OS, but looks like only one label to the printer. So please verify that your label software ensures that there's always one page per label.

Once you've verified this, you can use TSPRWPR to enable page-range printing via LPR, or you can buy an adapter that lets you use a *LAN device description.

But if you don't meet the requirements of the first paragraph, above, then none of the "page range" options (either with a DEVD or with TSPRWR) will work, because i5/OS doesn't actually know where the pages start and stop.

certainly do not plan on reprinting those first 861 good labels.

And I don't see where that's the fault of the "generating application/procedures are forcing it be an issue. (In which case
they can and should be changed.)"
