How to set up IPDS printer on HP Jetdirect port 9100. For AS/400 ver. 3.1
Device description and WRKAFP2 configuration, for 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 printing on AS/400 V3R1, you must use the following two commands:
Configuring PSF with CRTDEVPRT on V3R1
On V3R1, at 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')
A completed screen looks like the following example:

Configuring AFP with WRKAFP2 on V3R1:
On V3R1, at the AS/400 command line, enter a command in the form:
WRKAFP2 DEVD(HP_IPDS) IPDSPASTHR(*YES) TCPIP(*YES) RMTSYS('128.9.12.134') PORT(9100) INACTTMR(*SEC15)
A printout should look like the following:

PORT 9100
ACTTMR NOMAX
INACTTMR*SEC15
SBP*NO
PSC*YES
DRF*NO
DRR*NO
EDGSNSTV*NO
Then do the following:
Ping the IP address to verify communication with the printer:
PING ’192.194.134.90’
Vary the printer on:
VRYCFG HP_IPDS CFGTYPE(*DEV) STATUS(*ON)
Start the print writer:
STRPRTWTR HP_IPDS
