IPDS IBM printer does not work over IP WAN?

Post by Bob Heathcot » Thu, 26 Oct 2000 04:00:00



I've got a IBM Network 24 Printer with IPDS and it works great locally with
my local AS/400. However I have remote AS/400 on our IP WAN and it cannot
print to this IBM printer.  Is this because IPDS requires more than IP
provides?

Both are AS/400's are identical V4R4.

Thanks,

-Bob H.

Bob, Assuming you have created a printer device description of *IPDS *LAN *IP
attach as outlined in the AS/400 Printing V red book, it may be because of
your network setup.  Some time back someone was having trouble printing
outside their firewall to an *LAN *IP *IPDS printer.  As far as I know, the
only port that is used is 5001 (assuming it was not changed at the printer).
So you would need to allow that port to make it through your firewall.  If you
continue to have problems, you should attempt contacting the IBM Printing
Systems division support and see if they can help you out (I'm not an expert
in networking).

Bob,

        We had the same thing with a 4317 / InfoPrint 21-- Worse it worked
from an older release on another box.  What
we have found is PTF after PTF after PTF seem to be out, none on*tapes.
One of my associates is
building a list of what we have applied to date and will be posting it soon.

        JMS..

1. STRPCCMD should not work but does; RUNRMTCMD should work but does not

According to the documentation (Client Access Family) the way to run a PC
command from an AS/400 session is STRPCCMD for DOS, Windows 3.1 and OS/2.
For Windows 95/NT one should use RUNRMTCMD.  However, on my PC (Windows 95,
twinax, NetSoft router, CA V3R1M2, OS/400 V3R2) STRPCCMD does work but
RUNRMTCMD does not.

For RUNRMTCMD the daemon program AREXECDN.EXE should be running on the PC.
This has been installed on the PC, but when I start it, it does not seem to
do anything.  No information, no process running.  When I try RUNRMTCMD from
an AS/400 session, the job log says that the remote system 'did not
recognize the transaction program' (quoting from memory).

Any ideas why STRPCCMD appears to be unsupported?  Will it suddenly vanish
in a future release?  Will it not work with TCP/IP (not with V3R1M2 anyway;
the session is not recognized as a PC session)?

Any ideas how I could get RUNRMTCMD to work?
