Re: Setting up IPDS printer

[Aaron Bartell <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.
