Creating an IP PrintWay printer definition

IBM Infoprint XT for z/OS
GI11-9492-01

When you use the IP PrintWay component of Infoprint Server to print the jobs that Infoprint XT generates, you create a second printer definition, in addition to the PSF for z/OS printer definition. For creating the IP PrintWay printer definition and its Allocation section, see z/OS Infoprint Server Operation and Administration.

Then follow these steps to complete an IP PrintWay printer definition:

  1. Update the Custom values information for the Processing section:
    1. Position the cursor in the Custom values column, and press Enter. You see the Processing panel.
    2. In the Printer code page field, delete any value that is present, so that the field has no value.
    3. To determine whether you want to specify additional options, see the Infoprint Server documentation for information about the other fields. Infoprint XT requires no other information.
    4. Use the appropriate function key to save the processing information, close the panel and the Component List panel, and return to the IP PrintWay Printer definition panel.
  2. Update the Custom values information for the IP PrintWay options section:
    1. Position the cursor in the Custom value field, and press Enter. You see the IP PrintWay Options panel.
    2. In the Formatting field, enter 1. This prevents IP PrintWay from attempting EBCDIC or ASCII translations, which can adversely affect the input data stream.
    3. Use the appropriate function key to save the option information, close the panel, and return to the IP PrintWay Printer definition panel.
  3. Update the Custom values information for the Protocol section:
    1. Position the cursor in the Custom values field, and press Enter. You see the LPR Protocol panel. You must make several entries on this panel.
    2. In the Printer IP address field, enter the IP address of the z/OS system on which the PSF for z/OS printer definition resides. This is the printer definition that you created with the procedure described in Creating a PSF for z/OS printer definition with routing information.
    3. In the Print queue name field, enter the name of the PSF for z/OS printer definition.
    4. By default the Printer banner page option is active, as indicated by the slash to the left of the option. You must turn this option off, when you use this printer definition with Infoprint XT.
    5. In the LPR Processing Options: Mode field, enter 4 for Remote PSF.
    Note: You must enter the IP address and queue name information. If you do not, z/OS issues an error message when you try to return from the LPR Protocol panel.
  4. Select the Use DEST, CLASS, and FORMS for IP PrintWay printer selection option.
    Note: If you do not select this option, you must use the FSSDATA method of printing through IP PrintWay. See z/OS Infoprint Server User's Guide.
