Re: TCP/IP print ranges

[Gary Feinstein <gfeinste@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sannan,
        We are running V3R7 OS/400.  I just applied a bunch of PTF's to enable
the print range support:
LICPGM    PTF#
5716SS1   SF45145
          SF40675
          SF40506

Let me just reinterate my previous posting by saying that I can now use
the CRTDEVPRT CL command however it still does not let me utilize the
print range functionality.  As far as your problem with the printouts
going into send mode, take a look at the job log for the printer.  You
may want to set the timeout on the printer (or JetDirect card) a little
higher.  I find that this allows more time for the printer to accept
incoming print jobs.  Additionaly, make use of the Destinations Options
on the Outqueue Description by putting 'XAIX XAUTOQ' as the parameter. 
This changes some of the settings for Host Print Transform.
HTH,
Gary
