Reply ASAP, Printing through AS/400 to a printer at a remote location.

["prakash subramanian" <prakashsubramani@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi  there  !

I am using a V4R1 AS400 system. We need to print many reports from this 
system for which we have purchased a TALLY T6045 Line Matrix printer. 
The printer has been installed to a PC with the help of drivers supplied 
by the manufacturer of the printer. It prints well from Windows ( from 
local PC ) as also from DOS.

In AS400 we have created a Remote queue for our printing purposes.We are 
also using a software ( a queue server ) by name "RPM" ( evaluation copy 
) as the routing software . Details about this are available on the net 
at www.brooksnet.com . Through this, we are able to get the desired 
outputs when the PC to which the printer is attached to is some 10 feet 
away from the AS400 system. BUT, when this PC is about 2 KM away from 
the AS400 system ( actual location where the PC is to be placed ) , it 
does not give the desired results.

It either prints 1/4 of the output or it squeezes the whole output to 
quarter its size. We are using fibre optic cables for the remote 
location. Even Dot matrix printers give the same output.

I had seen the message ( HP printers & the AS/400  on the midrange 
mailing list by Danny Mc?) but our case is different.

Please help me solve this problem....

Thank you.,
Prakash.
