RE: Printer problems with overlays

[Paul Tykodi <ptykodi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Nick,

I looked up the information about the IBM Infoprint 21
 on the System i Technical Support Web Site this
evening.

http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.NSF/acf2ee1e9d64b16e8625680b00020389/17ab340fed4ddc61862569c10078aa3c?OpenDocument

I noticed the following items, which might be relevant
to your current situation.

The AS/400 PJL system driver program you are using is
listed as not being supported by this printer model,
which is probably why it hangs up so frequently and
nothing is printed. Try changing your IBM host System
Driver Program entry to *IBMSNMPDRV, which is listed
as being supported.

The Manufacturer Type and Model suggested for use with
this printer is listed as *INFOPRINT21 or *IBM4322.
Changing this setting from the current *HP5 could
definitely impact the placement of the Overlay on the
page.

Best Regards,

/Paul
