Re: print to network printers with long Win print jobs

Remote OUTQs can be used with device descriptions, IIRC. I don't remember if things like page range are available or honored then. This was aimed at applications that can specify only device descriptions, not output queues - maybe Query/i is one of those.

The idea is to create the remote OUTQ first, then create the DEVD - the latter will find the former and use it.

There were some special options for remote OUTQs that on their own allow setting page ranges. XAIX - was that one of those? Yes, I found it - it lets you specify the number of copies. There used to be XAUTOQ, but in many recent releases, that is always done.

The only reason we moved all printers to LPR is management purchased a print monitoring package that monitors all print traffic from either any source, I, Windows, Linux.
The monitoring package runs a Windows server.
The package could actually limit and stop a user if they exceeded their allowed monthly printing usage.

So if you move everyone away from LPR if possible, what to do you move them to ?

We move everyone away from LPR unless it's the only thing available.

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?
