Moving old 6262 model printer

[Guest.Visitor]

Cory, The controller is definitely part of the device description when it's defined. I did a RtvCfgSrc of one of my existing printers and you can see the controller parameter: CRTDEVPRT DEVD(PRT01) DEVCLS(*LCL) TYPE(4234) MODEL(2) PORT(5) + SWTSET(1) ONLINE(*YES) CTL(CTL01) FORMFEED(*CONT) + PRTERRMSG(*INQ) MSGQ(*LIBL/DS010502) IMGCFG(*NONE) + TEXT('Upstairs Printer Room') DEPLOCNAME(*NONE) + PUBLISHINF(*UNKNOWN *UNKNOWN *UNKNOWN *UNKNOWN *BLANK + (*UNKNOWN)) Bill SpeedracerCJR wrote: > I've been given the task of moving our 6262 printer to a different > controller, the one that's connected into the as/400 as opposed to > the one in our OLD rack.

So how would i go about changing it?

Is the printer twinax attached? Do you have a device address printout for your controllers?

yeah its twin-ax connected. I just ended up delete it and re-creating it with the correct controller attached. It was a crude way of doing but hey it worked!!!

I've been given the task of moving our 6262 printer to a different controller, the one that's connected into the as/400 as opposed to the one in our OLD rack. Its the last thing that has to be moved off of the old rack before we can decomission it. Anyways i know i need to change the address of the printer, and i also know i need to go into the device config of the printer and change the port and address there. I can't find where i tell it what controller its going to be attached to. Does it just automagically pick it up? Thanks for any help. Cory

For twinax attached, if I remember correctly, you can simply copy the device description to create your new device. Within the device description you specify the new controller name. Get a device address printout for the new controller and pick a port that will allow you to use the same device address. HTH Scott
