RE: configure Okidata 421N on iseries -- MIDRANGE-L

If you want your users to be able to use the DEV parameter to send splfs
to that printer rather than having to use the OUTQ parameter, you can
create a dummy device description. Here is the IBM KB article about
that procedure.

You specified SYSDRVPGM(*HPPJLDRV) on your CRTDEVPRT command so that is
telling the system you want to use PJL.
I've never used the TSPLPRD utility so I can't comment on how to set up
a device description with that program.

"If LPR is set to Y, then the printer model should work with a Remote
Output
Queue or a *LAN 3812 device description that uses the TSPLPRD utility,
both
of which communicate with the printer and print server using the TCP/IP
Line
Printer Requester (LPR) protocol."

Unless I reading this incorrectly, shouldn't I be able to create the
device
as a *lan 3812?

The IBM Support Knowledge Base article

http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.NSF/7c4c0f5a4d52e3c4862569b4005d198
a/4e596d0940ce1af1862569c100790da8?OpenDocument

shows that that printer can only be configured using LPR. It doesn't
support PJL, SNMP or IPP.
So your can't configure it as a device. It can only be set up as a
remote outq.

Subject: configure Okidata 421N on iseries

I tried to configure an Okidata ML421 on my iseries (v5r2), but when I
try
to print, the writer just ends abnormally.

Can someone tell me if my crtdevprt has any issues?
