RE: *HPPJLDRV vs. *IBMSNMPDRV

< What does USRDFNOPT(*IBMSHRCNN) do?>
From https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1019572
Configuring a *LAN 3812 SNMP Device Description

I included all 3 paragraphs because " it depends..". I use it when the
printer is shared with a local Win network.

User-Defined Options (USRDFNOPT)
This specifies, for spooled output only, one or more user-defined options to
be used by user applications, user-specified programs or the writer. A
maximum of four user-defined options can be specified. However, *IBMSHRCNN
is the only user-defined option that is supported by the SNMP print driver
code at this time.

Setting the User-defined options (USRDFNOPT) parameter to include *IBMSHRCNN
causes the print driver to open and close the connection to the data port on
the printer for every copy of every spooled file. This allows multiple
writers and systems to access the printer while the print driver is active
and there are files in ready status. However, you might not want to specify
*IBMSHRCNN if you want the printer to be dedicated or if you do not wish to
incur additional connection charges for each additional socket connection
that would be established. When this option is specified, the printer is
capable of being shared, and the value that is specified for the Inactivity
Timer is ignored.

It is recommended that the User-defined options (USRDFNOPT) parameter be set
to *IBMSHRCNN whenever configuring a *LAN 3812 SNMP device description.
However, it is required for an IBM InfoPrint 21 printer because this printer
will not operate properly if the USRDFNOPT parameter is not set to
*IBMSHRCNN. Also, it is strongly recommended that the USRDFNOPT parameter be
set to *IBMSHRCNN when printing to an IBM 4247, IBM 6400, or IBM Infoprint
6500 line matrix printer.

Hi Jim,

Thanks. You're correct, it's an M404DN.

Are able to share the source for WSCST(QGPL/HP5SI)?

What does USRDFNOPT(*IBMSHRCNN) do? Do you have a spool utility that does
something with it?

I did not see (or missed) what MFRTYPMDL you used.
The *HP5SI has been very stable. I do prefer SNMP over the older PJL I
do use a WSCST with a slight mod to print closer to the edges.

They function differently at the communication level but the printing
functionality is the same. When you were trying the HPPJLDRV driver
you did set the port to 9100? That's the most common issue I see with
newly configured printers using HPPJLDRV is that someone forgets to set
the port.

Importance: Low

Is there any difference functionally between the *HPPJLDRV and
*IBMSNMPDRV drivers? A client would like to set up an HP 404DN
printer. Using *HPPJLDRV did not work at all. The writer ended
immediately when attempting to print any spool. IBM support recommended
trying *IBMSNMPDRV.

Why would the driver designed for HP printers not work but the IBM
one would? Is there any reduction of functionality using that driver?
