Verifying a TCP/IP-Attached Printer on z/OS
To operate a TCP/IP-attached printer, you use JES operator commands.
Starting a TCP/IP-attached Printer
To start a TCP/IP-attached printer, do the following:
1. Start TCP/IP.
2. Power on the printer.
3. Start the printer FSA.
•
On JES2, the command is:
$Sprinter-name
• On JES3, the command is:
*CALL WTR,OUT=printer-name
Stopping a TCP/IP-attached Printer
You can stop a TCP/IP-attached printer in several ways:
1. The preferred method is to first stop the PSF FSA for the printer by entering the following
command from the z/OS operator panel:
•
JES2:
$Pprinter-name
• JES3:
*VARY,printer-name,OFF
*CANCEL,printer-name
where printer-name specifies the name of the printer FSA.
2. Then you can turn off power to the printer.
• To end the PSF FSA for the printer, use the JES commands. If you are unable to purge or
cancel the printer by use of the JES commands, enter the following command:
MODIFY FSSname,FORCE,printer-name
