On these printers, LPD support might need to be enabled (the default is different on the two models you listed, defaults to ‘on’ on the 3045, off on the other one). Check that first. You also need to ‘spoolsw lpr on’ in the interface to enable LPD spooling if you have a disk installed.

 

Second, change the printer queue name in the RSCS PRINTER= keyword to ‘lp’ in lower case. The Ricoh LPD implementation cares about this (the HP one does not).

 

Third, write to IBM and ask for IPP support in RSCS. That way RSCS could just discover the printer and the printer parameters and you wouldn’t have to do this kind of stuff. And you’d get access to all the useful finishing features in the printer, too.
