Network Configuration

AS400 Raw TCP/IP Printing to Port 9100 (CRTDEVPRT)

This is the procedure to set up printing to a device from an AS400 using the SNMP drivers.
This procedure is intended for users familiar with the AS400 system, especially those experienced with
printing in an AS400 environment.
The AS400 must run V4R5 of OS400 so that the SNMP drivers are present (or V4R3/V4R4 with the
most current PTFs installed).
The device must have port 9100 enabled.
