Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2004 16:33:37 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2657.72) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sender: owner-tn3270e@list.nih.gov Hi all I would need some explanation about RFC 1646 (TN3270 Extensions for LUname and Printer Selection) and RFC 2355 (TN3270 Enhancements) regarding printer answer to a Telnet 3270E server. RFC 2355 states that a response must be sent to the Telnet server when it specified ERROR-RESPONSE or ALWAYS-RESPONSE in the header's RESPONSE-FLAG. So if I'm a printer emulation program and I want time to process the received data, I can send a RESPONSE message with a NEGATIVE-RESPONSE and a RESPONSE-FLAG value of 0x01 (Printer is not ready). So the response message would be : Data-Type RESPONSE 0x02 Request-Flag REQUEST 0x00 Response-Flag NEGATIVE-RESPONSE 0x01 Seq-Number My own response number nnnn Data = 0x01 (Printer is not ready) Now the RFC 1646 says that a status message can be sent anytime but it also must be sent when a EOR is received. However the format of this status message is : SOH % R S1 S2 0x01 0x6C 0xD9 xx yy which is totally different from the response specified in RFC 2355 So I'm lost. Which one should I use ?
