RE: WSCST type function on IPDS printer type

Steve,

I'd say you're stuck living with it the way you have it unless you want to update those CL/OCL
programs.

Sorry,
Charles

Charles,

This is a legacy system. 98% of the spool files are QSYSPRT
files and a combination of 85 column and 132 column printing.
I thought it would be much easier to attack it at one spot
(the printer) rather than add ovrprtfs to hundreds of CL's
and S/36 Env OCL. Unless I am missing something?

Thanks.

Steve,

Having output rotated and shrunk when it doesn't need to be usually
means that your printer file isn't defined properly.

In other words, the printer file is defined as 132 columns, 60
lines. But in reality, only 80
columns are being used.

If you define your printer files correctly, you shouldn't

have issues.

HTH,
Charles

Subject: WSCST type function on IPDS printer type


We recently replaced a IBM IPDS line printer with an HP

laser. I had

to tweak the HP's printer device config with a WSCST object to
correct printing size on spool files that we getting rotated and
shrunk. This configuration was a non IPDS typical 3812 LAN setup.
That worked out good.

But I had to add the IPDS functionality to the printer by

creating

another device description as type *IPDS, which has no option for
WSCST because it doesn't use print transform.
If I send non IPDS type spool files to the IPDS printer they have
the original problem of being rotated and shrunk. Is

there a way to

accomplish the same function I get with WSCST on the IPDS printer?

For now we are using two different device descriptions to

get it all

done, but they have to be careful to hold writers etc.
when setting up for special print jobs and forms. I would

prefer to

have on device description.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

-Steve
