JQP Testimonials
"While upgrading to a new IBM 2066-001 mainframe, Pekin Insurance wanted to also modernize the connectivity configuration of their Solimar Print/Director system by changing the communication protocol from BUS/TAG to TCP/IP. In order to maintain data integrity using TCP/IP transfer, Pekin selected JES Queue for Printers (JQP) from MacKinney Systems. JES Queue for Printers transfers reports directly from the Pekin's mainframe JES queue to Solimar Print/Director and is able to append header information to each job and maintain proper carriage control codes for each print line. In addition to facilitating TCP/IP connectivity, JES Queue for Printers enabled Pekin to realize faster transfer rates and increased throughput compared to the previously configured BUS/TAG connection."

JES Queue for Printers addressed an immediate need to route print from JES2 to IP attached printers and saved over $100,000 in alternative hardware or software solutions. The trial and implementation of JQP was successful due to the quality support received from the Technical support staff at MacKinney Systems."

"The MacKinney staff is quick to answer any questions I have with JES Queue for Printers (or any other MacKinney product for that matter). They work fast to diagnose and solve problems."

"We are migrating from a VSE environment to OS/390. We use the capabilities of the VSE TCP/IP to print to network printers. We use another product to print to our VTAM Printers. JES Queue for Printers solved the problem of printing to both Network TCP/IP and VTAM printers. It was straight forward to install and implement. I had it up and running in approximately 4 hours. There were no changes to the MVS or JES2 environment.
Adding a DEST to a /*Route or //OUTPUT was all that was necessary to begin printing to the JQP printers.
The dynamic capabilities make it very flexible for adding/changing printers. As with any MacKinney product, it was very cost effective."
