I have to replace a 4224, to be able to print in tcp/ip. IBM suggested a
4232 attached to the LAN with a network print server 540+/542+ (an Axis
product). I never succeded in creating a device (crtdevprt, etc...) that
works.
Only printout I get :
-12345X@PJL
@PJL USTATUSOFF
@PJL USTATUS DEVICE=ON
12345X-12345X@PJL
@PJL INFO STATUS
-12345X

"Processing" led keeps blinking.

Tcp/ip config on my as/400 is ok. Creating a device to print spool files on
any HP or Lexmark laser printers on the LAN was an easy task...

Any help would be appreciated!

This is HP's PJL language (obvious, I know). Maybe the printer has a
menu or options to enable processing of PJL?

If your printer "prints" following string

> @PJL USTATUSOFF
> @PJL USTATUS DEVICE=ON
> 12345X-12345X@PJL
> @PJL INFO STATUS
> -12345X

that implies it is not parsing ("understanding") PJL commands.

It may not be a HP PCL/PJL language compatible printer.

Sounds more like the Axis is set to send PCL/PCL data instead of talking to
a matrix printer.

Set your 4232 to either Proprinter or Epson FX ; whatever corresponds to the
Axis selections.

Sorry, not familiar with the axis stuff. Always use other methods or e-box
for IPDS.
