Re: Xerox 5135

The PTF problem might bite you in the *** but the Xerox printers work 
just fine on i.  I have configured them on multiple systems (including 
V5R4).  The command below should get you a workable setup. Note that 
almost ALL of the current Xerox printers appear to configure just about 
exactly the same on IBM i, actually kinda nice.

*NOTE* you may have to create a workstation customization object to 
change the drawer selections because XEROX seems to use different 
numbers than you might expect. To do that use RTVWSCST *HP5SI and then 
swap around the commands in the section  :DWRSLT until they work as you 
want.

CRTDEVPRT DEVD(xerox)
          DEVCLS(*LAN)
          TYPE(3812)
          MODEL(1)
          LANATTACH(*IP)
          PORT(9100)
          ATTACH(*DIRECT)
          FONT(11 *NONE)
          ACTTMR(170)
          INACTTMR(*SEC15)
          PARITY(*NONE)
          STOPBITS(1)
          TRANSFORM(*YES)
          MFRTYPMDL(*HP5SI)
          RMTLOCNAME('insert.ip.address.here')
          SYSDRVPGM(*IBMSNMPDRV)
          TEXT('Xerox Printer')

For now, I have been setting them up as LPD, and they seem to work.  Anybody know if the 5135 supports other protocols.  We are on v5r4.  No where remotely current on ptfs.
