How to set up IPDS printer on HP Jetdirect port 9100. For AS/400 ver. 3.6
Device Description and PSFCFG configuration to use with IPDS DIMM and JetDirect card
Requirements:
Before IPDS printing using TCP/IP can be accomplished, the following points need to be checked:
- TCP/IP is installed and enabled
- The relevant PTFs are applied
- The WRKAFP2 command is compiled (for AS/400 3.1 and 3.6 only)
Details on how to verify these items can be found on the Internet.
Consult the following IBM web address for details:

IBM Doc. No. 8414724, PTF Listing for AFP Printing is a good entry.
- Preventive Service Planning (PSP)
This link directs you to the area of the Knowledge Base about Cumulative PTF Package for all OS/400 versions. IBM Doc. No. 8203740, PTF Listing for TCP/LAN Printing is a good entry.
HP settings:
Default IPDS port in JetDirect card is: 9100
Set the IP, Subnet Mask, and Gateway address on the JetDirect card.
The printers PS wait time-out shall be set to 300 sec.
The JetDirect card's IDLE TIMEOUT shall be set to 3600 sec or 0 (zero). Refer to our FAQ for a description of the consequences. Remember to power cycle printer to enable new settings.
AS/400 settings:
To configure IPDS on AS/400 V3R2, use the following commands:
On the AS/400 command line, enter a command in the form:
CRTDEVPRT DEVD(HP_IPDS) DEVCLS(*RMT) TYPE(*IPDS) MODEL(0) AFP(*YES) AFPATTACH(*APPC) FONT(11)
RMTLOCNAME(TCPIP) FORMFEED(*AUTOCUT) TEXT('IDATA IPDS DIMM')
