RE: Setting up (on Zebra) a RMTOUTQ -- MIDRANGE-L

Don,

Don't quite understand what you are saying here.

If you can send a spool file to an HP and have it print, there is absolutely no way you're going to be
able to send the same spool file to a zebra and have it print.

The zebra uses ZPL which uses text encoded control commands to control what is being printed.

Unless you're talking about having a spool file with the ZPL in it sent to a HP, the output would be
readable from the HP but wouldn't match what the zebra would put out.

This is what I have now:

Object Type Library Attribute
RMTAS400Z2 *DEVD QSYS PRTLAN (3rd attempt)
RMTAS400 *OUTQ QUSRSYS (This was my original
SUCCESSFUL attempt-to an HP Laserjet via HP Jetdirect print server-
WORKS GREAT. (No *DEVD needed?)
RMTAS400Z *OUTQ QUSRSYS (1st Zebra attempt - tried to
set it up same as above)
RMTAS400Z2 *OUTQ QUSRSYS (also 3rd attempt)

I send either plain text and/or barcodes to these configurations and the
HP prints everything fine, while on the Zebra, the prints just show up
in the Q, and then "evaporate". Yet, I can print text from say Notepad
onto the label stock in the Zebra.

SOOOOO CLOSE !!!!!!!!!!

Is the difference here between different configs whether you have the
"Zebra Print Server" plus a Zebra printer, or only the printer?

the Zebra printers can't handle PCL/PS - thus you can't use HPT.

That's not true.

Which part? If the latter, it'd be my fault - but if the first part,
where do you find PCL capable Zebra printers?

You are using HPT when you specify TRANSFORM(*YES).

HPT in this instance is providing only *SCS to ASCII conversion.

Yeah. My bad.

PCL doesn't come into play unless you have using a *DEVD with
SYSDRVPGM(*HPPJLDRV). Even then, I think it only really matters in a

*AFPDS to ASCII conversion.

OP was using *HP5SI though, which is PCL.
