V7R5 requires a chgsmtpa to change a parm value for *IBMSMPDRV (we just
upgraded to v7r5 and all smpdrv printers failed...
If this is not your environment, would suggest you drop back to
IBMPJLDRV and see if that works.
Have used both drivers for years but newer printers leaned toward smtp.
I do have an HPCOLORLJ using pjl driver.

Hello all,
So we're having a printer issue that has just completely stumped me.
Here's what's happening. We have a printer that is network-connected and
has its own IP address on our system. We have an output queue set up for
that printer. In the past few days we've started seeing error messages
that said "Problem with SPKPRT", SPKPRT being the name of the printer.
Doing a "Retry" just causes the error again. We can successfully ping the
printer from both the IBM i side and the Windows side. People can still
print Windows documents to the printer with no problem. In the past when
I've seen this type of error it's usually been some sort of a hardware
issue with the printer. We have access to the configuration of the printer
and the printer itself is not reporting any sort of hardware issue. I
should mention that this printer is at a remote location (the printer is at
our facility in Nevada and I'm in Ohio). Here is the config of the printer:

Anyone out there have any thoughts on what might cause this? I've heard
the suggestion to change this to a remote output queue, but doing this
would cause us to lose the use of the workstation customization object
we're using, and to define any other specifics about the printer itself.
Any input on this would be most appreciated. Thanks!
