Verifying the IPDS Configuration on AS/400

Verifying the IPDS Configuration on AS/400
To test IPDS printing:
1. If it is not already on, vary on the line description:
VRYCFG CFGTYPE(*LIN)
2. To start TCP/IP, enter STRTCP.
3. Verify that the AS/400 TCP/IP interface is active. Use the
command:
WRKTCPSTS
and then select option 1.
4. Turn the printer on and wait until the printer control panel
displays "ETHERNET IS READY."
5. To verify the printer is connected to AS/400, ping the printer
from an AS/400 workstation with one of the following
commands:
PING ip_address
or
PING hostname
where ip_address is the Internet address of the remote
system printer (the PrintNet), and hostname is the hostname
you defined for the printer, if any.

6. To use PSF/400 to send an IPDS file to the printer, enter:
STRPRTWTR DEV (printer_device)
where printer_device is the name of the printer.

If the ping is not successful, refer to "Cannot PING the
Printer" on page 143.
If the ping is successful, vary on the printer device
description with the command:
VRYCFG (printer_device) CFGTYPE(*DEV)
STATUS(*ON)
