RE: Generic text printer

My latest attempt was similar except for I had: MFRTYPMDL(*WSCST) SYSDRVPGM(*HPPJLDRV)

I didn't get to test it though because the device suffered mechanical failure, so it's now out for repair.  I'll try mine and yours when it gets back.

I'm sure a printer session would work, but there aren't any PC's where the machines will be going.  If direct printing fails, plan B is to create the printer on a Windows server and use a remote OUTQ to a shared Windows printer.

Justin, 

Try this - it's based on how some other manufacturers of nonstandard print equipment have worked.  The sys driver program not sure of, but the key is HPT, *WSCSTNONE and the QWPDEFAULT
 
CRTDEVPRT DEVD(XXXXXX) DEVCLS(*LAN) TYPE(3812) MODEL(1) LANATTACH(*IP) AF
P(*N) PORT(xxxx) FONT(11) FORMFEED(*AUTOCUT) PARITY(*NONE) STOPBITS(1) TR
ANSFORM(*YES) MFRTYPMDL(*WSCSTNONE) RMTLOCNAME('192.168.xxx.xxx') SYSDRVP 
GM(*IBMPJLDRV) WSCST(QSYS/QWPDEFAULT)                                     

The Mapica web brochure describes this as a XON, XOFF device, and also mentions a Win software piece.  If above does not work, I would try a PC5250 print session, and use same key parms above. 

It's a shot..
