RE: 6400 Printer - Share with Windows/Linux

On what type of printer? I do that too - on lasers. This is a multi-part NCR form that I don't see going away until we move to real-time electronic invoicing at time of delivery.

Most barcodes and even fonts don't require IPDS . We are at 7.1 and print a whole bunch of overlays, signatures as page segments, etc

Not sure I understand. Sounds like you're talking about a print session using a PC printer as an emulated system printer.

I need to use the system printer as the target from a Windows or Linux box.

Seems like it should be a piece of cake via Ethernet. I've turned the project over to one of our admin guys.

It was possible way back in the PC Support/38 days. Print to LPT2, for example, and it went to QSYSPRT. Of course, that was just plain text.
