It is possible to do printer pass-through over both SNA and TCP/IP. This section
deals purely with TCP/IP considerations.
Setup
To enable printer pass-through, you need to create an output queue with CRTOUTQ
and specify a RMTSYS parameter other than *NONE. Specify either the remote
system (host) name or *INTNETADR, in which case the system prompts you for the
Internet address of the remote system.
The following parameters on the CRTOUTQ command are relevant to using printer
pass-through with LPR.
v To use printer pass-through with TCP/IP, you need to specify CNNTYPE of *IP.
v Using the RMTPRTQ parameter, specify a specific print queue other than *USER
or *SYSTEM on the remote system. If you send to another AS/400, specify only
a print queue name or libname/outqname. In this case, the system expects to
find the remote output queue in QUSRSYS.
v Specify a DESTTYPE of *OS400 (for OS/400 V3 or V2R3 with TCP/IP), *PSF2
(for a PC with PSF/2), or *OTHER. OS/400 TCP/IP prior to V2R3 does not
support LPD.
v Check the TRANSFORM parameter. By default, this is *YES,touse
Host Print
Transform
. If you want the system to prompt you for the user transform program
parameters, specify *NO. For sending to another AS/400, use *NO with user
transfer program *NONE.
v You can send additional control file options to the remote system by specifying
them on the DESTOPT parameter. CRTOUTQ (Create Output Queue) also
supports the special value *USRDFNTXT. This takes the value of the DESTOPT
parameter from the user-defined text of the user profile when the system creates
that spooled file. The separator page parameter of the SNDTCPSPLF command
is also supported.
