Re: Setting up IPDS printer -- MIDRANGE-L

Aaron

As a further thought, try WRKWTR *ALL - when you display them, there is a way to see the job associated with them. Every writer is just another job, after all, and there will usually be some messages that MIGHT be helpful.

But as Charles and I have said, you don't use STRRMTWTR with a device - the Zebra info is probably somewhat old, before *LAN print devices were easily set up.

Good luck

Gotta love remote writers...the send the data...doesn't matter if it
gets printed or not.

Forget about the ZEBRA14 remote writer for now, concentrate on the
ZEBRA13 device description.

How timely! I just tried that and the spool file went through! Only
problem is that it didn't come out on the printer :-(

STRRMTWTR OUTQ(QGPL/ZEBRA14)

I found the STRRMTWTR command in a Zebra manual and they subsequently tell
me to do the following:

OVRPRTF FILE(*PRTF) FORMFEED(*CONT) OUTQ(QGPL/ZEBRA14)

Now whenever I run my RPG program that produces a zebra label, it
immediately disappears. So the spool file is going *somewhere*
successfully, just not to my Zebra printer.

Thoughts?

You may have defined the device to start a writer automatically, but
that's only at IPL. So you'll need to STRPRTWTR on it.

Lukas,

That command runs successfully. I changed the name to ZEBRA11 and the

IP

to 192.168.0.102. I do a 2 on my ZPL spool file and specify an OUTQ of
ZEBRA11. It goes to the ZEBRA11 OUTQ but it just sits there in RDY

status.

The OUTQ is in RLS status. Do I need a writer attached to this OUTQ?

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.

A Remotq Outq uses the LPR protocol to send a spool file to another
system. The RMTPRTQ parameter specifies to which remote print queue
it's being sent - in case of a directly network attached printer, this
can be either inconsequential (Zebra print servers), specify the type
of content (HP, for example) or in case of another system it can
specify the other print queue (for example, when sending to another
IBM i machine.

Here's how i create my Zebra Remote OUTQ, with which i've installed a
few GK420ts just a few weeks ago:

CRTOUTQ OUTQ(PRTETIK) RMTSYS(*INTNETADR) RMTPRTQ('1') CNNTYPE(*IP)
DESTTYPE(*OTHER) TRANSFORM(*YES) MFRTYPMDL(*WSCST) WSCST(QWPDEFAULT)
INTNETADR('192.168.1.100') SEPPAGE(*NO)

As you can see, RMTPRTQ is '1' in this case - this is a dummy value.

Make sure you print SCS spool files that are 100% aligned to the left,
no spaces, no nothing. This can cause issues, otherwise.
