Re: Remote printer driving me crazy!

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

IBM's Knowledge Base has a recommend to increase the Jet Direct
timeout to a very high number. Default may be short, less than a minute?
I use the max value on Jet Direct.
Also check the Knowledge Base for these docs, depending on your
release
V4RxMx PTF Listing for TCP/LAN Printing
V5RxMx PTF Listing for TCP/LAN Printing
the raw1 for your remote queue name is for port 1 or multiport
Jet Direct. If you have a single port, might try "raw".
