RE: Two writers, same IP, one won't run

One IP address. Two printer devices. Difference between the DEVDs is
one has a customization object to force portrait orientation. We also
have oth4r customization objects on other devds to utilize other
capabilities. As many as 8 devds pointing to the same physical printer,
same IP address. All the others work very nicely. I am seeing
something odd, however. Instead of port 9100, port 0 is used, and the
driver is *IBMIPPDRV. Doesn't explain why it isn't working now. Or,
with the odd port number, why it has worked before. I was out two days.
Maybe it was modified before I, unfortunately, modified it.

Job log for the writer is useless. Just tells me the writer ended
abnormally. Ends immediately, and does not present a message to
QSYSOPR.

If, by "release" you are referring to releasing an IP address, then

they are

not used simultaneously (right?) - and the rule still applies. If

that's

not what you mean, please enlighten me. Unless the rules of the

universe

have changed fairly significantly, you'll not share IP address on a

single

network. It sounds to me like what you're doing is sharing a device,

which

is not the same thing at all!

No time spent with a cat on your lap, can ever be considered

'wasted.'

Actually, you can if you "release" the printer between uses. We do

it

all the time since we have multiple systems pointing to the same
printer.

Most likely a printer definition has changed.

Something truly odd (and magical!) is going on if you've been able

to

have
multiple devices with a single IP address. TCP/IP rules prevent

the

possibility of sharing an IP address. Put another way, only one

device

*should* be able to use a particular IP address within its network

at

any
given time.

WRKJOB name_of_writer

The above command will lead you to jobjogs that should describe the
issue.

The bigger they are, the harder they hit.

Something odd is going on. When I try to start one writer to a

printer,

it ends. All job log states is that it did not end normally.

The

other writer to this IP address is working just fine.

This has worked fine until today.

Any ideas?
