Hello

I need to set up a HP 8000 printer on the As400 over TCPIP .

I am using the following .
CRTOUTQ OUTQ(QUSRSYS/TEST2) RMTSYS(*INTNETADR) RMTPRTQ('raw') CNNTYPE(*ip) MFRTYPMDL(*WSCSTA4) WSCST(QSYS/QWPHPLSR4) INTNETADR('10.99.2.100') DESTOPT('XAIX XAUTOQ')

It does print off the first page (header with the user , host class and job but thats all .

I have also played around using the work station customisation objects also .

Has anybody experienced this before

have tried logging the spool file in qspl with 4 00 *SECLVL . AS400 says it has sentr spool file to printer .

ANYONE ANY IDEAS

Thanks
Gerry
 
OK I would aaaume from your question that the report has more than the first page in the AS400 spoolfile. Please verify that is a correct statement. Can you send the spoolfile to another printer, and get it to print correctly?
 
take a look in the qsysopr msgq. look for any form aligment or form change messages.

Yes the printout has more than 1 page .
It prints out perfectly on a twinax printer .

Tried that at the very start . There is absolutely nothing in the qsysopr message queue . Its very very wierd . I get a message on the AS400 job log (when i do a 4 00 *seclvl) on the job in QSPL and it does say that the spool file has been printed . At this stage It appears that the AS400 has sent it out to the printer but the printer is unavailable to print it bar the first page

VERY VERY ODD !
 
OK that is really stange. What seems to be happening, is that the info. gets to the printer buffer, and then disappears. What in the wide, wide world of sports is a goin on?? You know you have connections, because you get the header page. Could the complete report be kept inside the buffer, waiting until it gets enough to print a page? I am grabbing at straws here..
 
This is the configuration I have for an HP 8150.

thanks people ....

As it turned out At the end of the day it wasnt an AS400 issue at all . Once the firmware was upgraded on the Printer itself the prints appeared.

CASE CLOSED - Thanks to everybody .
