RE: print to network printers with long Win print jobs

IMHO, HP screwed up with these types of printers. I made the mistake of
buying a MFP 426 DFW for home use, and there are no instructions, ANYWHERE,
as to how to configure the printer to print without having to press the OK
button on the touch screen.

It's not necessary, of course when printing an envelope, but how often is
that necessary?

When I'm asked to set up printer sessions for end users now, I nudge them
away from the MFP printers from HP and point them toward the Xerox Work
Centers, or to the Ricoh products. At least Xerox has a tools library that
works the first time, every time, and IBM sold the printer business to
Ricoh. It's my understanding that when you call IBM for printer support,
you're talking to a Ricoh employee.

Subject: print to network printers with long Win print jobs

Having an issue where printing to HP MFP printer, network attach, tried
both PJL and SNMP driver pgm, and getting CPA403D inquiry message (V7R1) .
Have determined it is long running Win print jobs.

IBM has a 2014 technote - Writers for *LAN 3812 DEVDs End Periodically with
Message CPA403D, which recommends changing PRTERRMSG parm of device
description to *INFO (instead of *INQ).

Sounds good - just asking if that is the what most do when dealing with
shared multi-function printers?
