4. Test the printer connection – AS/400
Test the printer by one of the following methods to ensure AS/400 is
able to make a connection with the IPS printer:
• Send a job from the host through PSF to print on the IPS.
(Refer to your IPS Guide to Configuring and Managing the
System for printing procedures.)
• Ping the printer from your AS/400 system to ensure the AS/400
can establish a connection with the TCP/IP-attached IPS.
Pinging the printer To ping the printer to verify a connection can be made, enter the
following command on an OS/400 command line:
PING ‘Remote Location’
‘remote location’ specifies the internet protocol (IP) address of the
IPS printer (refer to the configuration worksheet, earlier in this
section).
