Hi all and Happy New Year. I'd like to setup a facility whereby I can print directly from JES2 to an HP Laser Jet type printer without dedicating a printer, buying a printer, or spending time I don't have in INFOPRINT jail. What do you do for z/OS printing in a development context?
The requirement is to be able to print small listings locally and conveniently. The difference between today, where we FTP the listing to a PC and print, and tomorrow, is that I want the carriage control characters to be honored. I define small as less than 5000 lines per report and maybe 5 reports per day. I've spent several lovely hours cruising the INFOPRINT website and getting reacquainted with PSF, AFP, and their cousins. Most of this technology qualifies as gross overkill for my needs. I did not see anything directly on point that could be considered lightweight. Is there an easy way to tell Jes2 about a TCPIP connected printer and to have the printer respond to basic CC commands? No fancy forms or checks to be printed, just short reports. Thanks for your ideas, comments, and grand one liners.
