Don,
It is for this part of your notes (and it helps you included the whole
text)
. .. This allows multiple writers and systems to access the printer while
the print driver is active and there are files in ready status.
It's a requirement for the sites I work in - multi systems - users want the
print job, whether its Power i or Unix or Win.
I do remember early on the changing font issue, but for many years I've kept
up with print PTFs on a regular basis.

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
This is one
And also have more success with snmp driver

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?
