You now need to ensure that the remote system’s print queue exists before starting
the pass-through process.
This completes the setup processing.
Starting Printer Pass-Through
To start printer pass-through, perform the following steps:
1. Use the
Start Remote Writer
(STRRMTWTR) command.
2. Specify the queue name on the local (LPR) system that you created in the
previous section. This starts a writer in the QSPL subsystem that, when using
TCP/IP, uses LPR to send printer files to the remote (LPD) system.
3. Ensure that LPD is operational on the remote system and, in the case of the
AS/400, that the remote printer writer is active.
In the event of problems with this processing, the writer’s job log is often a useful
source of problem analysis material. To access this while the job is running, specify
the WRKACTJOB SBS(QSPL) command and select Option 5 against the writer job.
