Please help. I am having problems printing 12 CPI from our AS/400 with our new printer OKI 3391 ML.

Every time we print the AS/400 changes the settings on the OKI printer from font LQ Romans 12 CPI to Courier 10 CPI.

The OKI 3391 setup:

Emulation Mode - IBM PPR
Font - LQ Roman
Pitch – 12 CPI


I have tried :

Changing the OKI setting on the printer “Reset Inhibit” to “Yes” and setting “I-Prime” to “Invalid”, so it will ignore the AS/400 request to change the settings. but that didn’t work so changed them back.

On the AS400 , I have tried changing the Font Identifier to several different ID’s. That didn’t work.

What should the “System driver program” (SYSDRVPGM) be, have tried *IBMPJLDRV and *HPPJLDRV. Didn’t make any difference.

Below is the Device Description for the printer.

Hope you can help

Many Thanks
