  • TCP/IP LAN - PJL, SNMP, IPP, LPR print drivers, LPR/LPD printing, and NetServer print shares.

Important Information
 

  • When experiencing issues with network-related printing, it is recommended that the latest TCP/IP Group PTF, SF99677 be applied.
  • When experiencing issues with IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS) printer sessions, it is recommended to install the latest version of ACS and Java on the PC and any recommended fixes for TELNET.  Currently, there are no PTFs on the recommended fixes for Telnet list.  Use the following document to get the latest version of ACS:  Obtaining IBM i Access Client Solutions


Installation / Upgrade Considerations
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).

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.

For information on using Fix Central to download or order PTFs, refer to the following document:
Fix Central step-by-step Order instructions.
