Re: Setting up IPDS printer

Perfect Jeff!

I recalled setting up a Zebra using SNMP at a prior job, but I don't
have the command handy.

Aaron should be able to copy and paste the command you provided, only
would need to change the IP address.

Note to Aaron, you're better off using a *LAN 3812 device description
rather than a remote out queue.

Main reason, RMTOUTQ is basically one way from the system to the
printer. There's no communication from the printer to the system if
the paper's out/ jammed ect.

HTH,
Charles

and it works just fine.

Aaron,

The existence of snmp in the services list would lead me to try
setting up the printer as a *LAN 3812 SNMP Device Description.

Follow these directions:
http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.NSF/0/87a5b328400bbd37862569030070431d

One issue is what port# to use..this document (found by following
appropriate links in the above)
http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.NSF/0/94e73364f979e388862569030071c398

Says to use PORT(9100) and has the following, "Note: According to
information found on zebra.com, *LAN 3812 SNMP device descriptions
should work with Zebra thermal printers that use the ZPL or ZPL II
printer language when the printer is connected to the LAN using a
ZebraNet 10/100 print server with the latest firmware."


Good luck!
Charles

The Zebra GK420t arrived today.  I am pulling my hair out again

concerning

the setup because I am too ignorant to try anything logical and am just
throwing mud at the wall at this point.  Too many terms being thrown

around

on the web search results like "you don't need a WCST object" and "make

sure

to configure it with a RMTPRTQ of 'PORTLF1' ", and I don't have a solid
understanding how a remote outq is different from a regular outq other

than

I see it seems to be using some PASE type features when it is created

(i.e.

'/prt01') via iNav.

I have read the following pages and am trying to piece together all of

the

things that need to happen and in what order to make this Zebra printer

spit

out some content:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas15853b0046d2388ca86256ab8006ed891

The ports and services on the Zebra GK420t are as follows (I have been

using

515):
21 - ftp
23 - telnet
25 - smtp
139 - netbios-ssn
389 - ldap
427 - svrloc
445 - microsoft-ds
515 - printer
2001 - dc
3000 - ppp

I know this is asking a lot, but if somebody could take a few minutes and
give me the order of commands to call and the parms to specify, well, I
would owe you more than a pint.

A printing idiot am I,

Mmmm. Not bad cost either.  Looks like around $400.00.

The honkers I have dealt with were 8-10k.

That's because Zebra has everything - from industrial label printers
that have to print 10'000 labels a day, to desktop printers like the
GK420t that are only meant for 100 labels a day.

Luckily, with ZPLII and EPLII, using them is quite easy, as the
language is the same.
