Ouch! That sounds like the network group expects to use DHCP to assign IP addresses. And you (CA, actually) need static (pre assigned) addresses.
Worse, the printer could be unexpectedly assigned a new IP address at any time. It almost sounds like you are more than SOL: you are OOB (out of business). At least you can go ahead and break the news to the customers. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lizette Koehler Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2007 3:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Print Distribution and IP connected Devices We will be moving many people over the next few months from one building to another about 10 miles away. Some will keep their current equipment and some will get new equipment. What I am running into is with print (report) distribution. The network group (not MAINFRAME) cannot tell me the new IP addresses for this equipment until it is actually plugged in. That means I have to wait until the customer is ready to work to find out they can no longer receive print from CA Spool or Dispatch because the old IP address for their equipment is no longer valid. Is there any way I can get this under control before the move or am I just SOL? CA tells me they cannot use a DNS name for the IP connected equipment; that it has to be a physically coded IP address. Any thoughts, suggestions or comments are welcome.
