Re: Setting up IPDS printer

Hi Richard,

Tried the following and it says it sent it to the printer but nothing shows
up on the printer.

SNDTCPSPLF RMTSYS(*INTNETADR) PRTQ(PORTLF1) FILE(QPRINT)
JOB(486585/AARONSEC/QPADEV000P) SPLNBR(1) INTNETADR('192.168.0.102')
Spooled file QPRINT sent.

Lukas, when you say put it in hex dump mode, do you mean on the server or
printer? I did a google search and see a bunch of people mentioning to put
it in hex dump mode on the printer device but not necessarily on the server.

Also, if my ZPL wasn't correct would it completely dismiss the entire
spoolfile and not print ANYTHING? I would think it would at least print an
incorrect label, but maybe I am hoping for too much.

I am going to create a short Jing video so everyone can see what I am doing.

I haven't been following this thread closely, but check into using the
SNDTCPSPLF command if the device has LPR.

This is a good way to test LPR/LPD printing without any special setup on
the i.

Aaron,

Do WRKCFGSTS CFGTYPE(*DEV) CFGD(ZEBRA13)

The status should be ACTIVE/WRITER

If it's VARIED OFF, then do an option 1-Vary on.

If it's VARIED ON, then do STRPRTWTR ZEBRA13


HTH,
Charles
