My mainframe is trying to send a print job to the PDF print server (Windows machine) but getting 'Connection Refused'. My PDF creator has a printer setup called MAIN and is shared as \\<servername>\MAIN.
I tried to print a test file from a Windows 7 client to the PDF print server using this command.
lpr -S <PDF Print Server IP address> -P <Printer Share Name> -x testfile.txt
It received this:
Error: print server unreachable or specified printer does not exist.
I noticed that the PDF Creator has RED status and Printer Stop F2 is checked. I tried unchecking it, it doesn't respond. Not sure what could be wrong here.
Please help.
