How to print to ExcelliPrint from my host
Q: How do I create a device on my host system (mainframe or AS/400) that prints to ExcelliPrint® using IPDS?
A: Each ExcelliPrint queue is a TCP/IP IPDS printer to the host. Point a PSF printer at the ExcelliPrint computer’s address and the queue’s port, and add the host’s address to the queue’s Accept jobs from list.
IBM i (AS/400): create a PSF configuration object and an IPDS printer device; see Setting up IBM i.
z/OS: define the printer to JES as an AFP printer driven by PSF, and add a PRINTDEV entry to the PSF startup procedure with the ExcelliPrint computer’s address and the queue’s port, for example:
//XCPPRT1 PRINTDEV ...,
// MGMTMODE=OUTAVAIL, /* CONNECT WHEN OUTPUT */
// DISCINTV=15, /* RELEASE AFTER 15 SEC */
// IPADDR='10.1.1.20', /* EXCELLIPRINT COMPUTER */
// PORTNO=5001 /* THE QUEUE'S PORT */
Chapter 9 of the ExcelliPrint manual has the full examples, and covers z/VSE and AIX too.
