Q:
Topic thread:
Printer Systems (PRINT)
PSF/AIX
PRINT XPSF6000
A customer asks if he could connect an old 2391 printer to a PSF/AIX
in order to print on it from a VM application.
So we'll have the following configuration:
PSF/VM ------(PSF Direct link)----- PSF/AIX ----2391 printer
The questions are :
1) Is the 2391 a "supported" PSF/AIX printer ? The 2391 is NOT in
the list (PSF/AIX administration) but it is a supported
AIX printer. And PSF/AIX is able to support most of the AIX
printers isn't it ?
2) If YES at the previous question, could we print barcode
on it ? The PPFA/VM generates barcode and the customer want to
print it on each printer connected to PSF.
3) What happens if we replace PSF/AIX by PSF/2: do we have the same
functionality/restrictions .... ?
Thanks.
A:
Unfortunately the 2391 is NOT supported under PSF for AIX OR PSF/2.
PSF for AIX doesn't support any ASCII Impact printers. The ONLY impact
printers supported would be selected IPDS Impact printers via PSF
Direct.
Thanks for using WWQ&A.
