F.Defining the printer to the host: TCP/IP attachment

This appendix contains instructions, prerequisites, and some sample printer parameters for defining your TCP/IP-attached printer to your host, in each PSF environment.

MVS or OS/390 parameters

This section discusses the parameters and procedures required to define a printer to your host, followed by examples of the parameters required for a Token Ring connection using TCP/IP in a MVS environment.

NOTE: The MVS examples shown are for a Token Ring connection. However, the same parameters will be required for an Ethernet connection using TCP/IP.

Software prerequisites – MVS

On an MVS/ESA or OS/390 host system, you must have the following software to print through PSF on a TCP/IP-attached printer:

PSF/MVS Version 3, release 2.0, with APAR OW 15599 or later

MVS Scheduler APAR OW 12236 to support two new PRINTDEV keywords: IPADDR and PORTNO

TCP/IP Version 3, release 1 or higher, installed and configured on MVS.

You must have these prerequisites installed on your host before you begin the configuration process described in this chapter. Ensure that the manuals for the proper software releases are used.
