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. -- db |
