IBM i 7.1 Recommended Fixes - Print

Preventive Service Planning


Abstract

These recommendations are based upon your system already having installed the most current Cumulative PTF Package and HIPER PTF Group.

Content

The IBM i Global Support Center recommends installing the PTF's listed below for corrective service and preventative maintenance. If a problem persists after the recommended fixes have been installed, the support engineers can more efficiently diagnose the issue.
For further information or to order these PTFs, follow this link:   http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/

 


The following PTFs are recommended print related fixes that address issues in the following areas:
o TCP/IP LAN printing, which includes the PJL, SNMP, IPP, remote output queue printing, and NetServer print shares
o Line Print Requester and Line Printer Daemon (LPR/LPD)
o Print/Spool which includes general printing and spooling fixes and related APIs
o Host Print Transform (HPT)
o PDF Transform Services (product 5770TS1)
o Advanced Function Printing (AFP) and IPDS printing, which uses Print Services Facility/400 (PSF)

Important Information
o When experiencing issues with network-related printing, it is recommended that the latest TCP/IP group PTF:  SF99367 
o
When experiencing issues with IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS) printer sessions, it is recommended that the latest version of ACS be installed, the latest version of Java installed on the PC and the IBM i 7.1 Recommended Fixes for Telnet.  Use the following document to get the latest version of ACS:  Obtaining IBM i Access Client Solutions
o
If using IBM i Access for Web, it is recommended that you get the latest IBM i Access for Web service pack and IBM WebSphere Recommended Fixes


Installation / Upgrade Considerations
Group PTF SF99366 and the recommended fixes in this list can typically be applied or removed "Delayed" with no special considerations. However, many of the fixes require that all of the PSF writers, printer writers and remote writers be ended, or that the QSPL subsystem be ended, when applied or removed "Immediate" (without an IPL).

However, it is recommended that you review the cover letter for each PTF to confirm whether each PTF can be applied or removed "Immediate" and to determine whether there are any special instructions.
