Varying on the Printer System driver program Text 'description' *IBMSNMPDRV '*LAN 3218 SNMP Device Description for IBM 4400' Varying on the Printer Once you have created the printer device description, you need to vary on the printer device description using either the Vary Configuration (VRYCFG) command or Work with Configuration Status (WRKCFGSTS) command. Once the device has been varied on, you must start the printer writer using either (STRPRTWTR) or Work with Writers (WRKWTR) command. Problem Areas for Consideration If you then place a spooled file in the printer's output queue and it goes to MSGW (message wait) status with MSGCPA3394 "Load form type '&4' device &5 writer &1. (G B I H R C)" then chances are good that the spooled file will print once you answer this message with a "G". However, if the spooled file stays in RDY (ready) status or goes to PND (pending) status without printing or if the WTR ends you can look in the Message queue you specified in the devd, the SYSOPR message queue or the writer job log for messages that may indicate why the spooled file is not printing or why the WTR ended. To look in the message queue you specified in the devd or the SYSOPR message queue, simply Type, DSPMSG, then press F4 (to Prompt the cmd) and enter either your queue name/library or *SYSOPR. You should see the a message indicating that the job was submitted and then above that the failure. You may press F1 on that message to obtain the second level text. If you are referred to the WTR job log for additional information, refer to the following instructions. 249
