Thank you.
The printer is currently defined as a remote OutQ via an IP address since it
is attached to the network and not directly connected to the box (whatever
the nom du jour is)

I will see about creating it as you described on Monday.

Thanks again.

Assuming the Printronix works like the IBM 6400 line printers...

I suspect that you'd need the IPDS option installed in the printer.

You'd have to have the printer defined as *IPDS via CRTDEVPRT DEVD(MYPRT)
DEVCLS(*LAN) TYPE(*IPDS)

This means that you also have to have the _chargeable_ licence program Print
Services Facility (PSF) for IBM i. At 7.1 there are three versions:
LICPGM Option Description
5770-SS1 36 PSF for IBM i 1-55 IPM Printer Support
5770-SS1 37 PSF for IBM i 1-100 IPM Printer Support
5770-SS1 38 PSF for IBM i Any Speed Printer Support

Finally, a warning...printing barcodes significantly slowed down the IBM
6400 line printer I tried them on.

If you don't already have the PSF LICPGM, you can install it as a 70-day
trial to test before you pay for it.

I have been trying to print a bar code using a Printronix P7220
printer to no avail.

My sample spool files print fine on our laser cut sheet printers (bar
coding included), but I need the spool file to print on the
Printronix.

I think it is just a configuration issue of the OutQ. Can anyone help
with the configuration setting to make it an IPDS or AFPDS type
printer?

Thanks
Rich
