Verify the Printer Connection
To verify that the z/OS system can establish a connection with the TCP/IP-
attached printer, "ping" the printer from the MVS system.
From a TSO session, enter the following command:
TSO PING ip_address
In JES2, enter the following command from the System Display and Search
Facility (SDSF) menu 6:
ping ip_address
ip_address specifies the IP address of the ethernet.
Here is an example of a successful "ping" command:
EZA0458I Ping V3R1: Pinging host 9.99.12.33
(Use ATTN to interrupt.)
EZA0463I PING: Ping #1 response took 0.084 seconds.
Successes so far = 1.
Here is an example of an unsuccessful "ping" command:
EZA0458I Ping V3R1: Pinging host 9.99.12.33
(Use ATTN to interrupt.)
EZA0464I PING: Ping #1 timed out
NOTE: If you have problems "ping"-ing a printer, refer to "Handling z/OS
Connectivity Problems" on page 145.
Define the Printer to JES
When a TCP/IP-attached printer is to be used with JES, it must be defined for
deferred printing mode with JES.
JES2 Printer Definitions
Below is an example of the JES2 printer definition initialization member,
located in the system PARMLIB:
FSS(FSS1),PROC=PSFPROC,HASPFSSM=HASPFSSM
PRT1 FSS=FSS1,MODE=FSS,PRMODE=(LINE,PAGE,SOSI1),
CLASS=C,UCS=0,SEP,NOSEPDS,CKPTPAGE=100,
DRAIN,MARK,TRKCELL=YES
The above example is correct for JES2 3.11 and above. For earlier versions
of JES2, the statement is named FSSDEF and would be stated as FSSDEF
FSSNAME=FSS1.
The value you specify for the PROC parameter must match the name on the
PSF Startup procedure.
