Hi, Daniel
I'm writing to alert you to a change that's coming up in central print
services (W91) that will affect large SAP print jobs printed on the central
printers in W91. There was a presentation and Q&A session a few weeks ago
for an FSS group, Rosenberg et al, and a trainer might have been at that.
Don't know if any info from it came your way.
The Enterprise Printing Discovery/Delivery project appears to be within
months of providing a new, network based service using IBM's InfoPrint
Manager (queue manager running on the RS6000 under AIX). Phase 1 of the
rollout w/be for one client only - Gil Emmons in CAO. Phase 2 will make the
service available to SAP users whose large print requests are currently
sent to the IBM mainframe (W91) for processing.The new print service is
invoked from within SAP - that is, the 3160 IBM printer will show up in the
Print Options box of SAP - and may be something that needs to be included
in SAP documentation and training.
Lynne Durland of the project team will invite you (any minute now) to
attend a demo of the new software. Is there anyone else in your area who
should also see it?

You could also skim:

of the current service.
