Re: PC Print Files to AS400 Printer

[fkolmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

We are using HP5 lasers for all AS400 and PC printing. We use IBM CA and are
using TCPIP addressing. The PC and the AS400 know about each other via TCPIP
addresses .  We are on a Novell Lan and are using CreatePrint! (a package) and
sending all printouts as Protscript (even from the AS400).  CreatePrint has very
nice forms overlay functions.  Recently we hooked up a Richoh photocopier are 
are
using it for all our printing. (It had HP 5 emulation in it.)
