This goes back over 20 years in my memory but I recall that EBCDIC ^
doesn't translate to ASCII ^. The character you need in EBCDIC to
translate to ^ is not on my Windows keyboard. It was the character above
the 6 on a 5250 keyboard. It looks like a -| but in one character.

Check your EBCDIC to ASCII translate tables.

Subject: Re: Setting up IPDS printer

Update...

I was able to locate a pdf that gave me the default authentication to
get into the printer's web server. For archive purposes it is
admin/1234 and you just point your browser at the ip address of your
printer.

Once logged in I am seeing the following in the printers job log which
tells me the communication is in fact happening and data is being sent
down, but the printer isn't doing anything with it.

I am wondering if there is an issue with EBCDIC to ASCII going on here
that is causing the control characters to be converted in a way that
causes the stream to be thrown away by the printer because it doesn't
recognize anything it can do with the stream.

Are there print settings on the IBMi I can try to see if that addresses
the issue? Also, below is the RPG program I am using to create the
printer file with the code Charles told me about.
