Specify the IP address of the printer.

Troubleshooting

This installation procedure assumes that the Ethernet adapter is configured with the correct IP address, subnet mask, and gateway (if required). In addition you can also ping and telnet to the Ethernet adapter.

Print an E-net Test Page to verify the Ethernet settings.

The default Ethernet queue name is d1prn, however, the name can be changed. Substitute the changed name for the RMTPRTQ parameter. To verify the queue name, print an E-net Test Page or telnet to the adapter and perform a “list dest” command.

Verify Printing On iSeries

This section verifies that the printer is capable of printing ASCII files and that the printer can be pinged on the network.

To test ASCII printing:

1.Start TCP/IP, if it is not already running, by entering the command STRTCP.

2.Verify that the iSeries TCP/IP interface is active.

3.Ping the printer from an iSeries workstation with the command:

ping ip_address.

Where ip_address is the Internet address of the remote system printer (the Ethernet Interface) or the hostname of the printer (if you put the hostname in the host entry table as directed in “Configuring A TCP/IP Host Table Entry” on page 228).
