Question : How to setup a printer that routes, not to another printer, but to an IP and Port#?
PROBLEM:
We have a system that can only output it's message via a print job. What we need is to get this message from System A to System B...somehow via an IP/Port#.
OUR TEMP FIX:
We setup our own networked LPR printer to communicate with another "middle man" System C. This "middle man" system C then "prints" out to the IP and Port # of the mainframe which is listening to receive it's required input.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE:
I would like to take out the "middle man" C system because sometimes it's not as reliable. Is there any way to setup the printer to route, just text (no PCL code), to the mainframe directly to the IP/Port? The mainframe is expecting to see exactly this:
DVCM,30000006|1EGW|LABW|DF
C6B7
and if it doesn't find DVCM as the 1st part of the line then it bombs out.
So, is this possible? Any ideas?|
