Re: Setting up IPDS printer

[Aaron Bartell <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Update...

I was able to locate a pdf that gave me the default authentication to get
into the printer's web server.  For archive purposes it is admin/1234 and
you just point your browser at the ip address of your printer.

Once logged in I am seeing the following in the printers job log which tells
me the communication is in fact happening and data is being sent down, but
the printer isn't doing anything with it.

I am wondering if there is an issue with EBCDIC to ASCII going on here that
is causing the control characters to be converted in a way that causes the
stream to be thrown away by the printer because it doesn't recognize
anything it can do with the stream.

Are there print settings on the IBMi I can try to see if that addresses the
issue?  Also, below is the RPG program I am using to create the printer file
with the code Charles told me about.


     FQPRINT    O    F  264        PRINTER

       except bclabel;
       *inlr = *on;

      /end-free

     OQPRINT    E            bclabel     1
     o                                              '^XA'
