Re: Mainframe printer connectivity
If you only want to do "Line" printing to the printer as in, NON-Page mode printing, you could use: MacKinney Systems, JES Queue for Printers(JQP) http://www.mackinney.com/products/mainframe-printing/jes-queue-printers.html We use it here at UF and have even been able to implement Xerox's "Secure Print" capability with JQP. We also use JQP with HP printers.

Re: Mainframe printer connectivity
>From dim memories of a conversion performed long ago: We changed printers from IBM to HP. We had to get a special interface circuit that handled EBCDIC, PSF/AFP, and carriage control characters in column 1. We also had to update a lot of pagedefs and formdefs to deal with the differences in duplex printing. Since you are using the same printer, hopefully this won't be an issue for you. We defined new printers and new Functional Subsystem in the JES initialization deck. The Bus and Tag printers used proc APSWPROA. The network ones use APWSPROT (which is where you specify the IP address in the CNTL-PRINTDEV-ENDCNTL sequence of JCL statements). Both procs obviously customized. We used the menu system built into the printer's little control display to specify that the connection was TCPIP and what the address was. Since we were producing documents delivered to the customers, we did parallel testing of every type of product output (e.g., OGL, DCF, Waterloo, SAS/GRAPH, etc) as well as the mundane MSGCLASS=A for JCL listings.

Mainframe printer connectivity
Hello Group, Currently we are using mainframe printer with bus and tag connectivity with Xerox printer via prism hardware, which help us to convert fcion to bus and tag. But now, we would like to use tcpip connectivity for mainframe connectivity with Xerox printer. Can you please guide that how this new connectivity can be establish and do we need to buy any additional piece of hardware or software . I was reading about info print but didn't get much detail . Please suggest. Regards Venkat -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
