AS/400 to windows 2003 printer que

[shaun.guanco]

I have quoted this text from another message. It is exactly the same
problem I am having.


We have an AS/400 that is currently printing to a Windows 2000 box
using a
remote outq. It basically sends an LPR request to a printer share on
the
windows 2000 box. This works fine.

I am trying to set up a second print server, this time using Windows
2003.
I change what IP address the AS/400 is sending the print to and have
the
printers and shares the same but the Windows 2003 box rejects the
request. A
look at the event log gives this information for each attempt to print:

The description for Event ID ( 4008 ) in Source ( LPDSVC ) cannot be
found.
The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or
message
DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able
to use
the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support
for
details. The following information is part of the event:
\\192.168.210.146\test, 192.168.3.1

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Make your life easier. Use HP JetDirect internal or External Print Servers on any printers.

Then have the AS/400 print to the IP address. Additionally the HP JetDirect supports the
IPX/SPX and DLC protocols.

Check the settings in Windows 2003

Hi,

You really have two places to check. Since LPD is an older style print service, check to make sure your Windows 2003 server is set correctly. This link may provide some help.

The other place is the AS400. It is ususally a fairly straight forward setup to change the IP address on the AS400 print queue. However if you have created a new queue, you should confirm that all of the settings have come accross from the original.

My guess is that the microsoft KB artical will provide the key.
Best of luck.
