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?
