RE: Printer problems with overlays

They have used 9001 for many years, since IBM switch to using the
Lexmark print engine in their InfoPrint printers.

I believe most of the lan-attached IBM printers use port 2501, not 9100
like the HP's.

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

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
