I'm trying to print pdf's (and spreadsheets) on our high-speed mainframe
printers. I've downloaded the AFP Printer Driver for Windows and the Infoprint
Port Monitor that IBM provides. So far I have been unable to get these tools
to communicate with a printer. I suspect part of the problem may come from the
Infoprint Server is running on lpar TEST yet the PSF printers are started on
lpar PROD.
Here's where I'm at. On my pc I've defined a new printer. I right click to
set properties. Data on the General tab looks ok. Under Sharing I specify do
not share. Under Advanced my driver is Infoprint 4000 AFP, Spool says start
print immediately and enable advanced printing features was chosen. My problem
is with the Ports tab. The printer I've defined is checked. When I click on
Configure Port the Print Server is Infoprint Server for z/OS and under Server
Connection the Host Port is 515. I don't have anything for the Host Name. If
I click on "Refresh Printer Selection List" I get a pop-up with "Enter the host
name of the LPD server". No matter what IP address I put in there I time out.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get this to connect? I'm just about out
of guesses.
My thanks.
Alan
