Cannot PING The Printer

If you have problems trying to ping the printer:

Verify the configuration of iSeries, including the printer and any
intervening devices such as routers and bridges.

Verify that the iSeries line description is varied on and the
printer is turned on and displays a status of ONLINE.

Verify that the iSeries TCP/IP interface is active.

*NOMAX

The value specifies the
number of seconds that
PSF will wait for a
printer to respond to an
activation request. If
only one system will be
using the printer, use
the default value (170
seconds). If more than
one system will be
using the printer, set the
value to *NOMAX,
which causes PSF to
wait indefinitely for a
response to an
activation request.
