Verify Printing on AS/400 This section verifies that the printer is capable of printing ASCII files and that the printer can be pinged on the network. To test PCL printing: 1. Start TCP/IP, if it is not already running, by entering the command: STRTCP 2. Verify that the AS/400 TCP/IP interface is active. 3. Ping the printer from an AS/400 workstation with the command: Ping ip_address Where ip_address is the Internet address of the remote system printer (the NIC) or the hostname of the printer (if you put the hostname in the host entry table as directed in "Configuring a TCP/IP Host Table Entry" on page 3-6). 4. If the printer cannot be pinged, proceed to the "Troubleshooting" section on page 3-11. 5. Use one of the following methods to send a spooled file to the printer: • Enter the LPR command on the AS/400 command line with the appropriate parameters. See the "To use LPR manually:" section on page 3-6. • Enter the following command on the AS/400 command line: STRRMTWTR name Where name is the name of the AS/400 remote output queue (not the printer internet queue, as described in "To create an Automatic Remote Output Queue:" on page 3-8). NOTE: To print PCL files, you must have specified PASS in the Remote Printer queue name of CRTOUTQ, as described in "To create an Automatic Remote Output Queue:" on page 3-8). 3-10 AS/400 Configuration

AS/400 Configuration
Verify Printing on AS/400
This section verifies that the printer is capable of printing ASCII files and that the
printer can be pinged on the network.
To test PCL printing:
1.
Start TCP/IP, if it is not already running, by entering the command:
STRTCP
2.
Verify that the AS/400 TCP/IP interface is active.
3.
Ping the printer from an AS/400 workstation with the command:
Ping
ip_address
Where
ip_address
is the Internet address of the remote system printer (the
NIC) or the hostname of the printer (if you put the hostname in the host entry
table as directed in “Configuring a TCP/IP Host Table Entry” on page 3–6).
4.
If the printer cannot be pinged, proceed to the “Troubleshooting” section on
page 3–11.
5.
Use one of the following methods to send a spooled file to the printer:
•
Enter the LPR command on the AS/400 command line with the
appropriate parameters. See the “To use LPR manually:“ section on
page 3–6.
•
Enter the following command on the AS/400 command line:
STRRMTWTR
name
Where
name
is the name of the AS/400 remote output queue (not the printer
internet queue, as described in “To create an Automatic Remote Output Queue:”
on page 3–8).
NOTE:
To print PCL files, you must have specified PASS in the Remote
Printer queue name of CRTOUTQ, as described in “To create an
Automatic Remote Output Queue:” on page 3–8).
