19934440, Recommended SNMP Port Number Values for *LAN 3812
SNMP Device Descriptions
This document contains a list of recommended SNMP Port Number Values for *LAN 3812 SNMP printer
device descriptions, depending on the type of network interface or print server being used with your
printer. The Port number (PORT) parameter specifies which TCP/IP port to use when printing operating
system spooled files from an IBM System i family of servers system through a *LAN 3812 SNMP device
description to a printer on a Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN). Therefore, the
specified TCP/IP port must be open on any firewalls, routers or SOCK servers used between the iSeries
family system and the printer. If the specified TCP/IP port is closed, the printer writer for the *LAN 3812
SNMP device description will be unable to open a connection with the printer and will therefore not be able
to print to that printer.
8983237, Configuring a Remote Output Queue (RMTOUTQ)
This document contains information on configuring and using a Remote Output Queue (RMTOUTQ) for
sending IBM OS/400 or IBM i5/OS
® spooled files to an output queue on another IBM System i family of
servers, or to print OS/400 or i5/OS spooled files to printers that are attached to the LAN/WAN using a
print server, a PC, or a Unix server. Requirements include a TCP/IP interface configured in the OS/400 or
i5/OS, a TCP/IP address on the printer side, and a Line Print Daemon (LPD) TCP/IP process running on
the print server, PC or Unix server.
18762910, Configuring a *LAN 3812 Device Description that Uses the
LPR Print Driver (TSPLPRD) Exit Program
The LPR Print Driver (TSPLPRD) exit program is an unsupported utility that provides the function of
sending spooled files from an output queue to an ASCII printer which is attached to an LPD server. This is
a similar function to what is provided using remote output queues in IBM OS/400 or IBM i5/OS, but differs
because this driver exit program is specified on a printer device description. Thus, it can make use of
information specified about the printer in the device description which is not available on a remote output
queue. Also, because it uses LPR within a printer writer, it supports page ranges that can be used with
any printer that currently uses a remote output queue – including dot matrix and line printers.
This exit program also serves the purpose of providing an example of a Print Driver Exit, as it is written to
the Print Driver Exit interface as documented in the AS/400 System API Reference manual. This exit
program was introduced in the R440 version of QUSRTOOL, but will work with R410 and later versions of
OS/400. This tool is supplied as is without support. Therefore, any assistance with configuring or using a
printer device description that uses an LPR print driver exit program must be done through Consult
Line/400.
IPDS Services Facility (PSF) printing
Print Services Facility ™ (PSF) serves as the print manager for Advanced Function Printing ™ (AFP ™ ) on the
IBM zSeries ® . and iSeries system platforms. PSF helps you to support complex document requirements,
manage all of the elements required in each document and dynamically deliver the pages to the printer.
The 4247 printer is supported by the following (PSF) software facilities.
v
Print Services Facility for z/OS
v Print Services Facility for i/OS
v Print Services Facility for VSE
v Print Services Facility for VM
Notes:
1. In PSF z/OS the 4247 is only supported in 4247 native and 4224 emulation modes.
2. In PSF z/OS the 4230 printer was supported in 4224 emulation mode only and not in native mode.
PSF support documents can be found by selecting the “Software” link at the IBM website.
