Page 19: Destinations/Queues
Destinations/Queues Destinations/Queues For every I/O port on PrintNet, there is at least one pre-defined logical print queue or destination to accept print jobs destined for it. This includes print jobs that are sent directly to the I/O port, such as port 9100.
Page 20: Interfaces
Chapter 1 Interfaces 6. Load a specific printer configuration before processing a print • Specify a printer configuration to be associated with a print queue. • When a job is sent to that print queue, the associated printer configuration will be loaded before the job is processed.

Port Switching Printer Sharing Port Switching Printer Sharing To support printer sharing, 10/100Base-T Ethernet Interface printers automatically switch among all attached ports (serial port, the twinax or coax port, or the Ethernet network port). Basically, the printer prints jobs for one port until no new jobs appear and the port “times out”.
Page 100: Ping Is Successful
Chapter 6 Handling z/OS Connectivity Problems Ping is Successful A successful “ping” usually indicates that the z/OS system can communicate with the printer; however, you might receive a successful “ping” even though the IP address of the TCP/IP- attached printer is a duplicate of another IP address. If PSF is unable to establish a network connection with the TCP/IP- attached printer or if PSF output for this printer prints elsewhere, follow these steps to determine whether the IP address of the...

Page 206 Chapter 13 PrintNet Security 3. List the current access list. Syntax: list tcpip If the list is empty, all hosts have access to the PrintNet services. If there are entries in the list, only those hosts specified have access to printing and remote command execution.
Page 207: Printnet Naming Schemes
PrintNet Naming Schemes A single I/O Port destination can be configured with a variety of model and logpath combinations. For instance, once you set the parameters for m1 and l1, you can assign the model and logpath to more than one I/O port destination such as d1prn, d2prn, and d8prn.
Page 208 Chapter 13 Periodic Ping This periodic ping is different from the normal ping process. The purpose of this ping is not an attempt at dead gateway detection. There is no ping client created in the print server and the ICMP Echo Reply packets received from the gateway are deleted without being processed by the ping client.
