I have a PC with a Brother FAX4100 alll in one attached via USB to the PC. This is printing fine from the PC. I have created an iSeries printer session for this printer. I have done no extra configurations except call it a printer and associate the printer using the printer setup. When sending a print job form the AS400 I can visually see the hand shake on the printer emulated session. The printer lights up and shows receiving data, the pc printer shows spooling data then it appears to send it to the printer, but the printer goes back to sleep. <br />
I don't know if maybe there is a generic driver I should be using?<br />
I don't know if maybe I should use a PDT? I have never used one before.

AS400 locally attached printer not printing

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.

IBM i, formerly known as AS/400, is a proprietary, midrange, object-based operating and application system. It includes a relational database, a menu-driven interface, support for multiple users, block-oriented terminal support and printers, and supports security, communications, and web-based application servers including Websphere, Apache and Tomcat.
