Configuring the AS/400 for Printing
The procedure for configuring an AS/400 for printing requires that you:
1. Setup the printing capability
2. Verify the setup with a print job
In order to accomplish this configuration, you need the following
information:
Remote Printer Queue name
Set for any of ‘d1prn’ through ‘d4prn’.
NOTE: The Remote Printer Queue name must be all lower case. Do not
use PASS.
NOTE: When the IPDS feature is installed, queue name ‘d4prn’ is not
available.
IP address
IP address for the NIC.
Setting up Printing for ASCII Files
The next stop in configuring the AS/400 for IBM network printers is to
setup the remote printing capability. There are two ways to do this. You
can specify the LPR parameters manually each time you send a file to the
printer, or use Remote Writer and a remote output queue for automatic
printing to the printer.
To use LPR manually:
1. Start TCP/IP, if it is not already running, by entering the command
STRTCP
.
2. At the AS/400 command line, enter
LPR
.
3. The following example displays only the parameters you need to
specify.
