Yes, I created a printer thru Windows and can print to the stamping machine via Notepad.
I remembered overnight that LPR (used by remote OUTQ's) uses port 515, which is not the port the machine listens on, so that's probably out.
The machine is a Matica C410. My PC and POWER7 are on the same subnet and the machine is on a different subnet. PING commands from the POWER7 return 100% success. There is a router but no firewall between the subnets.
The system device continuously returns CPA403D (Operator action is required on device). This does block the device from printing via Windows. I have to end the writer before it will print from Windows.

Subject: RE: Generic text printer
Justin,
I think you are missing the point in some of our questions. All of the details are needed.
When you say:
"There isn't a Windows install. In Windows, I just specify the IP address and port, and presto" then <I assume> you did the Control Panel>Devices and
Printers>Add a printer
And there you specified IP & Port. Did you ever send anything from the pc to the printer to test Win printing?
That sets up a printer for your Win Pc, with a Win driver, for Win programs (including IBM System i Access) to print to.
However, to print via IP through remote outq or device description (*Lan
printer) talking to the ip of the printer (not the pc), then Win configuration is not used.
If it's a System i Access virtual device description, then the Win support
is needed and the System i Access session must be active.
So show us a print key of the remote outq or device description to see all the parms (assuming you want to use tcp printing and not a virtual printer) . Also a brand name & model of the device would help.
Any routing or firewall between system and printer?
Any messages or symptoms from trying to print to it.
