Re: RSCS: Printing to Ricoh Copier with LPR
The public may now think that DIAGD4 can alter the origin of an existing spool file. That is not the case. DIAG D4 sets the alternate user of a machine, any spool files it creates after this setting, will have the alternate userid as origin. 2010/4/15 Fran Hensler f...@zvm.sru.edu Les - I didn't mean to imply that I was using the DIAGD4 EXEC for the Ricoh problem. I only offered it as a way to solve changing the ORIGINID on spool files. I haven't tried to see if the new ORIGINID would be passed to the Ricoh in the p record. I only use DIAGD4 in a DVM that receives print from VSE, processes it and then sends it on to RSCS for printing. My purpose was so have 'VSE' print on the separator page, not the name of the DVM. /Fran On Thu, 15 Apr 2010 07:40:35 -0400 Les Geer (607-429-3580) said: Has the use of DIAGD4 resolved the situation?

Re: RSCS: Printing to Ricoh Copier with LPR
You are correct (as always) Kris. The DVM where DIAGD4 wakesup when a spool file is received from VSE. It then executes the DIAGD4 EXEC to change the ORIGINID. Then a PIPE reprints the spool file to RSCS and RSCS sees the alternate ORIGINID that DIAGD4 specified.

Is this being used by the Ricoh? Best Regards, Les Geer IBM z/VM and Linux Development We have pretty much the same setup. However, we have a need to pass a person's userid to the Ricoh. Our printers are setup with the badge swipecard reader and we need to be able to pass a userid. We are currently using the LPRXONE. If there is another that supports an actual userid, i would be willing to switch to test. We also are using RSCS to TCPIP/LPR to the printers.

Re: RSCS: Printing to Ricoh Copier with LPR
Martin - The DIAG D4 instruction can be used to change the ORIGIN of a file in the RDR. I pass the real ID of the user in the POWER DIST= parameter and I send the print to a DVM where DIAGD4 is running. DIAGD4 changes the ORIGIN to whatever is in the DIST and then transfers the RDR to RSCS. You can get the DIAGD4 package on my VM Download page at: http://zvm.sru.edu/~download. /Fran Hensler at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania USA for 46 years mailto:f...@zvm.sru.edu http://zvm.sru.edu/~fjh +1.724.738.2153 Yes, Virginia, there is a Slippery Rock -- On Tue, 13 Apr 2010 13:35:15 -0400 Benedict, Martin said: Les, The problem that we have is that some of the prints come from a CMS users rdr.

This is Enhanced Locked Printing, were you need to swipe a badge on the printer to login and receive your prints. This works fine for windows based printing. However, I am trying to find a way to send the vmuserid to RSCS, then onto VM/TCPIP and to the printer via LPR to lock down our vm prints to corporate printers. These reports are generally from a VM users rdr, and sometimes from 1 or more VSE guest machines. Feel free to respond directly if need be.

Unsure if the printer would accept a usercode via a PCL or postscript command. If so, then you could add it via the prefix eparm. If you're willing to set up a Linux guest between RSCS and the printer, CUPS has a concept of an instance, which is basically a package of options for a particular printer. The neat thing is you can use plain LPR (which RSCS does speak without problem) to talk to cups-lpd, and RSCS can specify the printer name as printer/instance, and you get the job options added to the job when it passes through. You set up the instances on the Linux side with lpoptions, including the magic user code, and on the RSCS side, you point it at the Linux guest and the printer name is printer/instance, and you're done. No mods, no fuss, and users can modify the instances if you put them in the lpadmin group on the Linux guest. Also adds IPP support, encrypted printing, authentication, and a whole bunch more good stuff that RSCS will probably never get. This trick works really well for signature fonts or doing forms flash over output from RSCS, BTW. Would anyone find an appliance to do this useful? I could probably whip something up. -- db
