What I was saying is that it *may* be a Twinax printer with an ethernet brick in front of it. I know Twinax is dead and I don't miss it. We're running new power 8 boxes so, trust me, no twinax.

If the printer has a LAN connection, you can switch it to that. If not and it has a parallel, serial, or USB port, you will have to attach it to a PC and share using iSeries access. It has to have some sort of connection other than Twinax to be used.

Subject: 6400 Printer - Share with Windows/Linux
I'm trying to see if we can print to our 6400 from Windows or Linux. I see a number of products that go the other way around - intercepting IPDS from the IBM i and printing to non-IPDS printers.
Does anyone know of an IPDS driver for Windows or Linux (RHEL)? We are looking to print barcoded invoices.
Tried adding the 6400 in Win 7 Enterprise but Windows could not see the printer (although I can ping it). It may be an older 6400 attached by a twin-ax brick - I'm waiting on an answer to that.
