I have a developer asking if there is any way to cause a printer to continue
printing after encountering an error such as a missing page segment or a
missing font. He says why should that kind of error be a complete show
stopper such that any subsequent documents in the same output stream don't
print. Has anyone else been asked this and is there any way to make this
happen? We are z/OS 1.7 using IP Printway with laser printers (HP 4200, etc).
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.
Since the HP 4200 is a "distributed" (PC/LAN) printer I would say that
IP Printway has no say in the matter. I don't even think that IP
Printway gets back an error at all.
I know with the distributed printers we have the only thing IP Printway
knows is that it has sent the full document. Just like printing from
Windows to a PC/LAN based printer, all Windows knows is that the
complete job was sent. If you turn the printer off during while it is
printing, but after the complete job has been sent to the printer,
Windows (or IP Printway) has no clue and assumes the complete job has
been printed.
