RE: Set remote printer to pull from Drawer 3

Alan,

I've got to question why you chose the HP4 for the rtv..
HP LaserJet P2050 Series PCL5e/PCL6 lists *mfrtypmdl as either
*ricohap3200 or *hp5si
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1019534

The doc you referenced earlier has no drawer 3 code for *hp4, but does have
one for *hp5si
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1010133
having said that, I agree with Charles on the code from the hp manual.
BUT - have you read the steps at the bottom of the N1010133 web page - "New
Method for Accessing Drawer 3 and Above"?
And the other topics that can come into play...

Your printer manual...

Page 74 of this
http://www.hp.com/ctg/Manual/bpl13210.pdf

Shows, ESC & l # H...where # is :
1 - Feed paper from the a printer-specific tray.
2 - Feed paper from manual input.
3 - Feed envelope from manual input.
4 - Feed paper from lower tray.
5 - Feed from optional paper source.
6 - Feed envelope from optional envelope. feeder

If this is still what you're using for drawer two..
:DWRSLT
DRAWER=DRAWER2
DATA ='1B266C3448'X.

Then x'34' = 4

You might try using
:DWRSLT
DRAWER=DRAWER3
DATA ='1B266C3548'X.

But again, your printer manual should be more specific as to what paper
sources your printer supports.

Okay! I changed all the Drawer keywords to have DATA= the same as
Drawer2 to see what it would do and it printed, but it printed from Drawer

2.

They have a Drawer 3, which is apparently optional for this printer:
HP Laser Jet 2050 Series PCL6.

But the RTVWSCST command did not retrieve any DRAWER=DRAWER3.

The parameters I used (IIRC) were:

RTVWSCST
DEVTYPE(*TRANSFORM)
MFRTYPMDL( *HP4 )
SRCFILE( QGPL/QTXTSRC) SRCMBR( HP4 )

And compiled from there.

Does someone know where I can get the DATA= value for DRAWER3 for this
printer?

(Thanks so much for your help on this)

.

Compiles okay to QGPL, but I need to tweak this thing so it ALWAYS
pulls

from the specific drawer.

In the retrieved source I have four drawer specifications:

:DWRSLT
DRAWER=PAPER
DATA ='1B266C3248'X.
:DWRSLT
DRAWER=ENVELOPE
DATA ='1B266C3368314F'X.
:DWRSLT
DRAWER=DRAWER1
DATA ='1B266C3148'X.
:DWRSLT
DRAWER=DRAWER2
DATA ='1B266C3448'X.

I suspect DRAWER2 for this. If it turns out to be technically a
DRAWER3,

the docs say I can add an entry for an additional drawer. (True?)

If I want to ONLY direct output to ONLY Drawer 2, will it work to
remove

the other drawer specs?

What I would do is to lie.

Set the WSCST so that all the DRWSLT specs point to tray 3.
That way no matter what the (unknown) printer file definition is, the
spooled file will request tray 3.

Yes, you can add another set of specs for drawer 3, but if you can't
change the vendor's software to OVRPRTF / CHGPPRTF it won't matter
because you can't tell IBM i to use that.
