JES Spool Printer Sharing

where
printer_name
specifies the name of the printer FSA.
Then you can turn off power to the printer.
• To end the PSF FSA for the printer, use the JES commands. If you
are unable to purge or cancel the printer by use of the JES
commands, enter the following command:
MODIFY
FSSname
,FORCE,

Resolving IPDS Printing Problems
If you have problems printing, do the following:
• Print an Ethernet Test Page. Refer to your
Setup Guide
.
• Verify that the IPDS service is enabled.
• Verify the service name.
• Verify that port number 5001 is being used.
If you are still unable to print IPDS files, contact IBM support.
Sharing IBM 6400 Printers on MVS
IBM 6400 printers can be shared on PSF/MVS in one of two ways:
• By using the MGMTMODE and DISCINTV parameters via the JES
spool.
• By port switching on the printer.
JES Spool Printer Sharing
JES spool printer sharing is valid for TCP/IP attached network printers. A
session with the printer is maintained while there is output on the JES
spool and the printer is available. When there is no more output on the
spool and the disconnect interval expires, PSF/MVS ends the session
with the printer. PSF/MVS attempts to restart the session when there is
more work on the spool for the printer. After the session is restarted, PSF/
MVS must reload the resources required for the print jobs. When using
this method of network printer sharing, PSF/MVS cannot determine if
another print driver is active.
