Re: as400 print que on windows 2003

Hi,

If the firewall doesn't fix your problem, try using RPM Select from
www.brooksnet.com
I have many users that use that product with up to 50 queues.
you will first have to disable the 2003 LPD service
install RPM
define your output queues for hardcopy printing


In addition to printing to a hardcopy device, RPM will allow you print
to a disk file (filter queue). This enables you to process your output
in many ways when used in conjunction with OctoTools that we
manufacture www.octotools.com
print to PDF
electronic forms
MICR checks
report distribution
email and fax

If you are interested in RPM, Brooksnet can assist you.
If you are interested in RPM and OctoTools we can provide remote
support for your problem over the Internet.

Hi Shaun

The culprit may be the Windows Firewall. Try adding the LPD port to
allow access (I can't remember the port number now, but will have a
look at the office tomorrow). Had the same problem a while ago.

Sorry Shaun Windows is 2003 security is not my speciality.

I'm not aware of any security with LPD but that doesn't mean that it
doesn't exist. I've not had to do anything special to enable it in the
past.

I would suggest you start my elinating the iSeries as the problem by
configuring TCP print services on another device (you can use Windows
2000 Pro or XP Pro workstations if you do not have another server you
can use) set the TCP printer service and driver up in the same way and
check the iSeries can send spools.

Also, look at the NETSTAT *CNN, F11 details to see how much data is
being transmitted, if only a few bytes then the problem is more likly
config, if it sending loads of data then more likely windows problem.

Hopefully someone else will be able to give you more specific advice.

Good Luck

Brad,

First off, thanks for the response. The TCP Print Services are running
and the printer queue name exsists with no special characters. Still
no dice. I tried renameing the queue, stopping and starting the
service. Deleting the queue and recreating, but still no luck.

Does Windows 2003 server have some special sercurity feature concerning
IP printing not found in Windows 2000?

Thanks

Sounds like the Like the LPD service on you windows server is not
loaded, stopped or busted.

Checked the TCP Print Services service is loaded, running & that the
print queue specified on the OUTQ exists on the Windows 2003 server
(preferably with no spaces or special characters in the name as this
can cause problems)

Good luck

I have quoted this text from another message. It is exactly the same
problem I am having.

We have an AS/400 that is currently printing to a Windows 2000 box
using a
remote outq. It basically sends an LPR request to a printer share on
the
windows 2000 box. This works fine.


I am trying to set up a second print server, this time using Windows
2003.
I change what IP address the AS/400 is sending the print to and have
the
printers and shares the same but the Windows 2003 box rejects the
request. A
look at the event log gives this information for each attempt to print:



The description for Event ID ( 4008 ) in Source ( LPDSVC ) cannot be
found.
The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or
message
DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able
to use
the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support

for
details. The following information is part of the event:
\\192.168.210.146\test, 192.168.3.1


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
