Ian, When I get a printer that doesn't work, I like the LPR command (direct to the printer from your cms session) with the Trace option to find out if the printer actually works and prints before I add it to RSCS. Sometimes we have firewall holes that need to be punched or something else is up wi

OK, I'll bite. I was hoping someone else would ask. How do you code a continuation on a TAG stmt and is it only for the RSCS use of TAG. I looked in RSCS HELP as well as CP HELP and see no mention of continuation. Jim (never too old to learn) Bohnsack Jones, Ian H wrote: And after a life

Ian - I've never been satisfied with the LPR command in CMS so I use these commands: cp spool print rscs cp tag dev prt [printer name] I have an EXEC that issues thes commands under the covers. On a FILELIST screen the users types:SPRT / [printer name] /Fran Hensler at Slippery Rock Uni

The most obvious question is, does RSCS have routing to these printers? Also mine has a PRINTER= parm that I do not see on yours. Mine * LINKDEF XWC80 TYPE LPR QUEUE FIFO FORM * AST PARM XWC80 EXIT=LPRXONE # HOST=199.44.nnn.nn PRINTER=IP_199.44.nnn.nn # EPARM='S=

Guys, This is probably a stupid question, but it is getting urgent and I don't have any more time to play with it. We are trying to print to IP printers for the first time. This looks like it should have been a straight forward change; CMS users used to send output to type SNA3270P printers a
