Hi Agnes,<br />
<br />
This link should have everything you need to know about configuring ANY IP printer:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1019513" rel="ugc nofollow">http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1019513</a><br />
<br />
Printronix P7010 hsa a lot of options and emulations, so the specific config may depend on how that printer is setup. &nbsp;Looks like it is a choice &nbsp;between the basic ASCII printer setup, IBM ProPrinter emulation, or Epson FX-1070 emulation. &nbsp;You may want to experiment with each of these to see what gives you the best results.<br />
<br />
Also, looks like it support SNMP, IPP, and LPR. &nbsp;SNMP usually provides the best support, the IPP, then SNMP. <br />
<br />
Details of each of these variations is covered in the support article.<br />
<br />
Post back if you have specific questions.

<div>
What type of connector is on the printer, only Twinax or is there a parallel port as well?<br />
<br />
Either way you will need an adapter to plug it into an RJ45 port. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/parallel-ethernet-adapter/s?page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Aparallel%20to%20ethernet%20adapter" rel="ugc">Parallel to Ethernet adapters</a> are freely available. For Twinax, <a href="http://www.twindata.com/wrestling.htm#Option2" rel="ugc">this link</a> gives ideas on how to go about it.

Sorry for answer late but I had an emergency.<br />
<br />
hdhondt and Gary, the printer has a Ethernet connection in the back. The thing is, we will get a new server Power 8 to replace the Iseries. Right now this printer is connected to the Iseries through an controller, this is our main printer and was configured like this: <br />
<br />
&nbsp;Opt &nbsp;Device &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Type &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Text &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; PRT01 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 4234 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;CREATED BY AUTO-CONFIGURATION &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
<br />
<br />
Now an technician from our business partner says that we need to put this printer in our network before they transfer all our data from the iseries to the power 8 server.<br />
<br />
I want to connect the Ethernet cable and unplug the twinax and see what the control panel from the printer shows but I do not want to mess it up the twinax configuration.<br />
<br />
I will read the links that you sent me. Gary, do I need to create a remote outq? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thank you!!!<br />

Hi Gary,<br />
<br />
I have not done my project with the printer. My some reports go directly to the printer PRT01 which is my main printer Printronix 7010 connected using a twinax.<br />
<br />
If I create a remote output queue to use this printer in my network I cannot name it PRT01 since one already exist. where my reports will go?<br />
<br />
Can you give me a clue on this? <br />
<br />
Thank you

Hello,<br />

Configure a printer to Ethernet in iseries (as400)

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Printers and Scanners

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
