RE: Printer device *INFO messages

What protocol are you using to communicate with the printer? HPPJLDRV,
IBMPJLDRV, IBMSNMPDRV, IBMIPPDRV? I have found SNMP and IPP drivers
much more robust when dealing with WAN connected devices, with PJL being
the worst at handling network timeouts. The capabilities of your
network print server determines which protocol you can try.

Subject: Printer device *INFO messages

I have been changing the PRTERRMSG parameter on printer devices from
*INQ to *INFO. Stops a writer from backing up if the printer runs out
of paper. Users take care of the printer anyway, so it seems ideal.
However, A WRKWTR will show a writer status as MSGW, even though no
response was requested. Only way I have seen to have the status change
is to ENDWTR, STRPRTWTR.

Is this what is supposed to happen at v5r4?
