Jim, I am curious as to why you have specified *IBMSHRCNN ? Did you do
this deliberately or were you copying a config that had this.
I recently installed a HP428DFN at my home office and ended up with a
configuration very similar to yours and this thread interested me so I
checked my printer configuration.
I have always used ACTTMR(170) INACTTMR(*SEC15) to allow the printer to be
shared and was not aware of the user defined option.
This user defined option appears from what I have read to override the
inactivity timer.
I have included the explanation I found for reference below.
Cheers
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.
Note: Some users have seen problems where the font will change in the
middle of printing a spooled file when using a *LAN 3812 SNMP device
description. Setting the User-defined options (USRDFNOPT) parameter to
*IBMSHRCNN appears to help with this situation. However, downloading and
applying the latest recommended fixes may also be needed. For more
information, refer to the Required PTF Levels section above.

When ibm doesn't have the exact printing model in its list, I look for
something close, and verify from HP specs if supports PCL (404N supports
Print languages
HP PCL 6, HP PCL 5c, HP postscript level 3 emulation, PDF, URF, PWG
Raster)
Can you show the device description you have.
This should work, and have used them

Subject: Printer problem with HP Laserjet Pro M404n
Hi,
A few weeks ago, I asked a question about setting up a HP Laserjet Pro
m402n
printer and we were able to get it working with the settings of *HP4000
and
a system driver program of *IBMPJLDRV.
We bought a new printer that is slightly different and is model HP
Laserjet
Pro m404n. We tried the exact same settings with it and as soon as you
send
a spool file to the output queue to print, the writer job ends with
CPD337C
"The session with device &1 ended abnormally". We followed the advice on
this page
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/configuration-settings-and-error-messages-
lan-3812-pjl-device-descriptions to try and correct it. No luck, same
error
every time. We specified port 9100 on the device description. We also
tried the following things.
1. Font (I tried 11)
2. Manufacturer type and model (I tried *HP4 and *HP5SI and
*RICOHAP3200)
3. System driver program (I tried *HPPJLDRV)
Ironically, on this page
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/644553
where
they list information about HP printers, they don't show an M404. Not
sure
what that means. Anyone have any ideas?
