RE: print to network printers with long Win print jobs

It has been my experience that LPD/LPR is the lowest level of support on IBM i. There are many features and functions that it does not support. It gives virtually no specific error details back to the system.

To answer your original question, Jim, changing the PRTERRMSG parameter to *INFO is definitely standard practice here.

will LPR support *AFPDS spooled files with overlays and various fonts?

It's my understanding that when you call IBM for printer support,
you're
talking to a Ricoh employee.

That change occurred back in 2007.

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.

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?
