Re: Problem with network printer after IPL

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is it just one particular device that's causing the problem, or all 
printers?


If all printers, there may be one or two causes.


First, there's a system value (QSTRPRTWTR) which says whether or not to 
start print writers at IPL.
Then, based upon that value (if = '1') the startup procedure (usually 
QSTRUP in QGPL, but defined by another system value (QSTRUPPGM)) has to 
actually start them.


However, I thought all of that came pre-coded in the QSTRUP procedure 
shipped with the system.


I know of no reason why the '2' option on WRKOUTQ would start the writer.
