7 AS/400 Configuration
Overview
There are several methods of printing with PrintNet to a print server
attached printer via an AS/400; each method should be chosen on the
basis of your print needs.
The easiest methods for single files or print specific files which require
manually entered data are LPR, and FTP.
For spooled (automatic) or batch printing, a Remote Output Queue
should be created.
Start by considering the nature of the data you wish to print. ASCII, for
example, dictates the need to establish the printer emulation to set on the
printer, and the choice of SCS to ASCII conversion.

To help you, IBM provides a number of references to help configure
TCP/IP printing. Some of these are:

It is highly encouraged that you obtain one or more of these references,
as they cover all needed details about the AS/400.
