Here is an example of how to configure a standard printer on a AS400. The objective of this information is to help with the capabilities and limitations of *LAN 3812 printer device descriptions, including those that use the PJL print driver (*HPPJLDRV and *IBMPJLDRV), the SNMP print driver (*IBMSNMPDRV), the IPP print driver (*IBMIPPDRV), and the unsupported LPR Print Driver Exit Program (TSPLPRD) utility. Most of the information in this document applies equally to *LAN 3812 PJL device descriptions, *LAN 3812 SNMP device descriptions, and *LAN 3812 IPP device descriptions, and *LAN 3812 device descriptions that use the unsupported LPR Print Driver Exit Program (TSPLPRD) utility. Capabilities of Printing through a *LAN 3812 Device Description The following is a list of the capabilities of using a *LAN 3812 device description to print...

Why AFP?First and most importantly, what is AFP? I started in this business back in 1984 when AFP was Advanced Function Printing now I would lean towards Presentation. This would be two different ways to define AFP. Today, printing has come a long way. With the ability to post application data to a Web Site or send it via email, printing can become a new way to present information. AFP as a software architecture is implemented in the device-independent AFP data stream. AFP as a hardware architecture is implemented in the device-dependent IPDS data stream. Most importantly it is designed for system-managed printing, where all of the managing of the print process is tracked and controlled  so that every spooled file prints completely and accurately, every time. Itis implemented in software and hardware...

By focusing in on listening to what they need I have found many ways to be of assistance. My assistance includes finding packaged programs to cover and implement capabilities to meet the needs I understand. After 20 years with IBM, I recognize the differences between programs that are cadillacs in comparison to those that are like volkswagens. The main objective, in the 90's selling was focused on quality, today I believe that focus is on value. I have a team of people who can assist in writing programs. We specialize in AS400 Cobol and RPG Programming, but we are not limited to this. We have the ability to program with Visual Basic as well as .NET(VB...
