RE: Printer on the net

Title: Available port numbers

There might be some tools, but think about this ("IF" you have all the tools available to you)

 

Set up the outq on the AS/400 to the printer on the internet just like you would for any other PC running CA with an

attached printer (I do this at work with my HP692C)  I do believe you would have to have either on

one side or possibly both sides a PC running windows 2000 ( I just got a new PC with 2000, and there

is an option to print to a printer on the internet, rather odd set-up though....  I have not been able to get it to

work with the URL even on our intranet yet, but then again I have not had the time to really play with it.

 

Hopefully someone here has tried this, but I think you are on the bleeding edge (opps leading edge)

 

On another plane of thought, could you e-mail this report to the person? You could set up the 400 to create a PDF

and to do the e-mailing; we do that here, works very nicely - unless it has to print without "user" intervention.

 

Good luck and I hope this helps some.
