Created printer device for a HP 7610, varied on, started writer, printer goes to ready status but does not print. No errors reported in job log. What are the correction parameters for the printer description?
Software/Hardware used: HP 7610 printer, iSeries, LAN
Let me ask our network people. I'm not sure what else to try at this point. The only other thing I can think of, does it have a unique IP address? I have set a bunch of printers up as Client Access not too many network printers.
Many HP printers are attached to our IBM i on our WAN. We have never had success with printers where all the options are N (LPR, PJL, SNMP, IPP). It might work as a PC-attached printer running a Client Access print session.
The following is from IBM's user guide for HP printers:
"The LPR column shows whether a Remote Output Queue or the Send TCP/IP Spooled File ( SNDTCPSPLF or LPR) command can be used to print to this printer when directly connected to the LAN. "

Printer is a network printer attached via the LAN.
MFRTYPMDL : *LEXOPTRAT
SYSDRVPGM: *HPPJLDRV
WSCST: *NONE
All other PC's in the network are using the same IP address and having no problem printing.
Tried *IBM4317 but still does not print (pending status)
IBM printer guide N1019534 (pg. 21) shows:
Printer Data Stream: HP PCL3 enhanced (PCL3e)

PDT file - N/A
MFRTYPMDL for HPT -*LEXOPTRAT
