RE: A new printer and the Printer File

I had a similar situation recently. Google TSPLPRD. I had to download a file
from here:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas1b3d7c3a57ab8e44c8625688d00
4f8309

Once I had the save file restored, here is the configuration I used:

CRTDEVPRT DEVD(FLPOPQ) DEVCLS(*LAN) TYPE(3812) MODEL(1) +
LANATTACH(*USRDFN) PORT(9100) ATTACH(*DIRECT) +
ONLINE(*YES) FONT(11 *NONE) FORMFEED(*CONT) +
SEPDRAWER(*FILE) PRTERRMSG(*INFO) MSGQ(*CTLD) ACTTMR(170) +
INACTTMR(*SEC15) LINESPEED(19200) WORDLEN(8) +
PARITY(*NONE) STOPBITS(1) TRANSFORM(*YES) +
MFRTYPMDL(*IBM6400) PPRSRC1(*CONT132) PPRSRC2(*NONE) +
ENVELOPE(*NONE) ASCII899(*NO) IMGCFG(*NONE) +
CHRID(*SYSVAL) RMTLOCNAME('10.130.224.34') +
USRDRVPGM(QGPL/TSPLPRD) +
TEXT('*LAN 3812 TSPLPRD DEVD for IBM 6400 in Pompano') +
PUBLISHINF(*UNKNOWN *UNKNOWN *UNKNOWN *UNKNOWN *BLANK +
(*UNKNOWN))

Hope this works for you.

I believe teh 6400 and be set to emulate a number of different devices. I
would check those settings in the 6400 and match/change those or the device
description to match.

Maybe the printer device description?
Sounds like the host thinks the printer speaks a strange language . . .

Good Morning.



Client has just installed an IBM 6400 line printer which is currently
ignoring the Printer File associated with a specific report.

I know this because the Printer File specifies:

. 15 cpi printing, the printer is printing the report at 10 cpi.

. Draft mode, the report is in Standard mode

In addition the printed output is showing:

. At least 1 line of 198 spurious characters at the beginning of
the
report.

. the characters "a+00216H" as the first 8 characters of every
print
line.

Neither the spurious characters nor the "a+00216H" are in the report's
spoolfile.



Any ideas where to go first?
