IBM iSeries and wireless HP printers
Hi guys, I'm trying to setup an HP P1102W printer under an iSeries server (V5R3).
I manage to add the printer but it won't print (printer works fine with Windows and Linux). These are the options I'm using:
Any help will be much appreciated,

Gary: thanks for the input.
I can ping the printer from the iSeries server.
It's sad but long before me a "genius" set up the network using a class B (131.107.2.0/24) intead of using a class C ip address range. But it's a simple LAN with no internal firewall.
I tried to print using an HP Laserjet 1022 with a wireless print server (TP-LINK TL-WPS510U) and it won't print either. Laserjets 1022n print without problem.
I can't believe the fact that wireless printers are not compatible with iSeries servers.

This question has been classified as abandoned and is closed as part of the Cleanup Program. See the recommendation for more details.
Is the writer started for this printer?
That looks like a public IP address, so it is possible that there is a firewall that needs to have port 9100 opened up between your AS/400's address or network and the printer's address or network. That would explain why the Windows and Linux systems can talk to the printer and you can't.
Firewall is the most common issue.
