RE: AS400, Ethernet, and Printing

[Michel Sabourin <msabourin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Marc,

You could start by having a look at the november issue of Midrange Computing.  
There is a section called " Network and Client Access TCP/IP Printing " 
covering that topic.

HTH.

Objet:  AS400, Ethernet, and Printing

Having an AS/400 connected to an Ethernet network is new to me,
as is this whole sitation.  Currently, whenever something needs to
print, Netsoft is used to route the AS/400 output to the printer.  This
seems like an extra step to me, can't something like a Jet Direct
card attached to the network be used to handle the output directly
from the AS/400?  Would autoconfig pick up the Jet Direct?

Specifically, I need to send output to an HP 2930 printer, which 
looks like it handles ASCII codes.  What is the best way to 
accomplish this?    Is there a particular manual that addresses 
networks and printing?
