Alex, I'm just guessing here, but you may need to employ something like JES328X which disappeared about 4 years ago, or NPF or INFOPRINT or a third party VTAM print facility. I think MacKinney has a cheap one.

Following up on this. I have added a LU1 MODEENT definition to ISTINCLM according to [1] and assigned that to the respective LU, in my case that is T006. When I power the printer on, I get 'SLU ENABLED' in `d net,id=T006'. Apparently VTAM knows the printer is there. The documentation I've consulted so far talks a lot about IEBGENER, the P390 cookbook also has a JCL example that is supposed to print a document. It says, bone-dry: 'DD SYSOUT=A'. What all documents I've read so far omit though, is how I tell my system that a printer is at T006. How do I tell my system that SYSOUT=A should go to T006? -Alex [1] https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/gddm?topic=gddm-4224-ipds-printer__;!!KjMRP1Ixj6eLE0Fj!8Qv7Wi2uPUpkox0GpqSnxUJbuzuWD__3DUO7KZTmYbLXRaoxKJPXQ2Cajc4VkhE_rg$ On Sun, Jan 16, 2022 at 09:12:22PM +1100, Attila Fogarasi wrote: > The 42xx printers are dot matrix that were primarily meant to be used > by non-mainframe hosts so they come in a variety of configurations to > emulate asynchronous devices.
