Matt,
I hope that I can help you. We have VPS, VPS/PCL, and VPS/TCPIP.
We do not have VPS/DRS.
What has caught my eye is your statement "from LPAR-B, via CDRM06".
>From "SC31-8791-10 z/OS V1R12.0 Comm Svr: IP and SNA Codes" manual:
<snip>
VTAM hint: Sense code 0888000n might be issued when an attempt to
establish a session fails in an intermediate VTAM along the session setup
path. This error might occur because the intermediate VTAM that set the
sense code is operating with NQNMODE=NAME or is a pre-V4 VTAM. Therefore,
the intermediate VTAM cannot define multiple resources with the same name
even though the network identifiers are different.
Change the intermediate domain to operate with NQNMODE=NQNAME to allow
definition of multiple resources with the same name and different network
identifiers, or reroute the session through another path.
<end snip>
Those make me wonder whether CDRM06 is the node that holds the missing link to
the problem.
Are there any messages showing up there about this problem?
Are there definitions for the printer on the CDRM06 system?
Alternatively, Do you have VPS available on LPAR-B?
Why not define the printer directly to the VPS on LPAR-B and cut out all of the
middle-men?
Another possibility: are the JESes on LPAR-A and LPAR-B defined to each other
(i.e. NJE) ?
We can print from our LPAR-B (Node2) to our LPAR-A (Node1) by specifying the
output to go to N<node#>.<printer name>
(i.e. N1.PRINTER1).
The JES on LPAR-B, NJE's the output to LPAR-A, and our VPS on LPAR-A sends it
to the printer.
