RE: Printing confusion

Hi Don,

The System i Technical Support web site says to define
an HP 2420d using the Manufacturer Type and Model of
*HP5si.

The *HP5si and *HP4000 entries use slightly different
formats for converting *AFPDS spool files to HP PCL 5e
so you may get everything to work correctly be
changing the Manufacturer Type and Model in your
outque definition to *HP5si.

Best Regards,

/Paul

I was able to set up an HP laserjet printer, which is
connected to an HP print server on our network, as a
Remote System I printer. I was able to get a

"normal"

System I print job to go to that printer. However,
when I tried to send a print job with an overlay to
that printer, an error light appeared on the HP
printer.

The HP printer is a 2420d lasetjet, and is used the
*HP4000 as the "defined" printer. I'm not sure what
I should have used instead? I did use the Host print
option. Is there something I need to have running
on the System I, or there is there another option I
have omitted?
