  • 1.  Coinfigure a printer Toshiba E-studio2515AC

    Hi, 

    I'm trying to configure a Toshiba e-Studio2515AC printer on an IBM i system running V7R5. This specific printer model is not listed on the official IBM support page for Toshiba printers: <response-element class="" ng-version="0.0.0-PLACEHOLDER"></response-element>https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/information-printers-toshiba<response-element class="" ng-version="0.0.0-PLACEHOLDER"></response-element>.

    Has anyone successfully configured this particular printer model on an IBM i? I'm assuming that port 9100 is used for the connection. I also have already attempted to set it up using a remote outq. Same problem.

    I have uploaded a printout of the device description.

    All help is welcome.

    Regards

    Hi Paul,

    I'm not familiar with the Toshiba printer family - but you should start by identifying the network and emulation abilities of the printer. In my experience most network printers can act like a HP network printer (which set the standard at the time).

    I've had success with defining network printers as HP compatible, with the keywords TRANSFORM(*YES) MFRTYPMDL(*HPCOLORLJ) SYSDRVPGM(*HPPJLDRV).

    HTH.

    Hi Christian, thanks for your reply.

    I've already tried several configuration options without success.

    I'm now going to try configuring this printer as a remote OUTQ. 

    The firewall needs to be configured first, so port 515 (LPD) is open.

    regards

    Paul,

    Looking at the IBM page I seed that all other eStudio printers are using HP PCL6 and emulate *LEXOPTRAT or *HP4... but only support LPR or PJL drivers (some SNMP, none of them IPP or at least uncertain).

    I would be surprised if your eStudio wouldn't support PJL as well if properly enabled, did you already print a status page from the printer to see what is enabled ?

    Kind regars,
    Paul

    Hi Paul, We had a similar toshiba to yours that was working fine, stop working permanently from as400 prints only. Windows prints are fine. I am strongly suspicious of a firmware update making our driver selection (aka MFRTYPMDL selection). I recently discovered the ibm recomended MFRTYPMDL but neither helped. Did you get anywhere with your problem? Ta Heath.

    BTW, we had a kyocera stop printing from as400 and we fixed it by getting the firmware rolled back.
