RE: Printer Configuration Not Working

A little more experimenting (since I obviously don't know what I'm doing I'm
kinda limited to experimentation-mode).

I deleted the device description which, apparently, also deleted the output
queue. Recreated the device description (using the CL below). After
starting the writer, WRKCFGSTS showed status of Active/Writer. Test print
did *not* print (Status = RDY).

Next, I tried to print a test page from both TextPad and NotePad. Both
failed to print. Canceled them from the PC's writer (or whatever it is).

However, WORD and Excel documents print. But the writer on the System i
goes to END status and WRKCFGSTS simply shows Varied On. Test pages from
TextPad and NotePad will now print.

I don't know what it's telling me, but I see this error six [6] times in the
job logs, all with the same time stamp.

I double-checked the IP address (10.1.10.199) and port (9100) through the
Windows printer properties.

Nice documentation!

At that point, I would do WRKJOB (writername), and view the joblog for any
of the ended jobs. Something in there should stand out for you.

Option 9 (Work with printing status) shows:



Status Description

This file is not associated with a started printer.

When I then use WRKWTR CR's status is END, whereas earlier it was STR.
So I
started it.

Then the Work with printing status shows (Status is pending).

While typing parts of this message, the writer's status went to END.



In the past all I have ever had to do was create a device description.
The
output queue mysteriously (to me, anyway) gets created and everything
(usually) works fine (with a little fine tuning on some rare
occasions).



Thanks.
