RE: RE: Printing to a remote system

Hi Bill,

This is also the way I have printed labels via TL Ashford to remote Zebra printers for testing and user acceptance in the past too. Just to follow on with Alan's word of caution, I have also experienced production users taking the test labels by mistake. In order to avoid this, we always put a watermark image on the test label controlled via a flag in the dataset that was set based on the server we were executing the code from, so that it was more obvious to anyone picking up the label that it was in test.

Cheers,
Karl.

Hi Bill
The outq will only see the spoolfiles that were generated on that system Simply put, the spool file is sent to the printers memory and the printer will print from its memory buffer

Chris/Alan,

I'd like to ask a follow-up question if I may. Chris, you were saying if the printer is IP attached that I can define it to my test system. Just to clarify - so you're saying that if it's tied to an IP address I can create a device description, etc. on my test system that points to that IP and it would work exactly the same way as it does from my production system? Also, when you refer to using CRTOUTQ, I'm a little fuzzy on some aspects of that. If I create output queue ZEBRA on my test system and use my production system for the remote system, should I then be able to do a WRKOUTQ ZEBRA on the production system and see it there? Thanks for the info!
