I have a Printek 8003 impact printer connected to an HP Jetdirect 300x. I am trying to configure the printer on an AS400 but ran into some issues.
If I create a device description (LAN Attached), when I print a job the printer prints the following on the page:
2345X@PJL USTATUS
@PJL Info Status
@PJL USTATUS DEVICE=ON
If I create a remote output queue, the data from the print job prints on the form however not with the correct controls. In this case, the job is set to 8 Lines per Inch and 15 Characters per Inch however those controls are being overridden by the printer settings. As a result, the text is too large.
If I set the LPI and CPI on the printer the job prints perfectly, but I am trying to avoid having to change these setting at the printer.
What am I doing wrong?
