Re: Printer problems with overlays

Hi all,

I tried, using various combinations, with *IBMPJLDRV, *IBMSNMPDRV,
*SEC15, and *SEC30 (timeouts on the 400 side). Also, I tried changing the
timeout on the printer itself. It was at 15 seconds on the Parellel and
AppleTalk menus. I tried changing them to higher values, (100), but they
keep changing back to 15. When I changed the Driver Program to
*IBMSNMPDRV, it still ended, but the Writer held the SPLF and then ended
the Printer.



Thanx,

Nick

Two suggestions:
Use the *IBMSNMPDRV as the system driver program
Check the printer timeout value (on the printer, not the iSeries) and
should
be the highest value allowed.

MIchael,

Yup, tried that and same result.

The only reason I have it set up the way it is now, is because all of

our

printers that are not *IPDS are set up that way.



Thanx,

Nick

Have you tried changing

MFRTYPMDL(*HP5)

to

MFRTYPMDL(*INFOPRINT21) ?

Hi Everyone,

I have just recently replaced an HP LaserJet 2100TN with an IBM

InfoPrint

21 printer in our Shipping Dept. One of the main things printed on

this

printer is the Bill Of Lading. This is a PRTF with an overlay in it.

It worked fine in the past with the HP printer, but now with the

InfoPrint

21 it will "sometimes (5%)" print, and other times, "most of the
time(95%)", the Printer will go to status "END". I have to stop/start
the Print Writer a few times to get it to work again.

I also have Sharp ARM 350 Copier/Printer set up there with the same

exact

config, and it prints with no problems. That is where I am printing

the

BOLs now.

Normal PRTFs print OK.

I have it configured as:

DEVD MORSHPLAS1
OPTION *BASIC
*PRT

DEVCLS *LAN
TYPE 3812
MODEL 1
LANATTACH *IP
PORT 9100
ATTACH *DIRECT

This is the same config as I had for the HP.

Also, I tried setting it up as an *IPDS printer instead of a 3812. The
printer never "ended", but the overlay moved up about 3 lines, so I

could

not go that route.

We are at V4R5. :-(

Any help would be greatly appreciatted.



Thanx,

Nick
