Use

If your printer is connected to the iSeries across a network using TCP/IP, the formatted print requests are passed from the SAP System to an iSeries output queue. Subsequently, they are passed from the output queue to the connected printer.

Prerequisites

Before you can print using a network printer, you must:

Procedure

  1. Enter the TCP/IP address for the printer in the host table or in the Domain Name System (DNS) using the functions provided by the CFGTCP menu.
    For details of the procedure, see     Configuring TCP/IP (iSeries).
  2. To create the output queue, use iSeries command CRTOUTQ .

    3. Example

    CRTOUTQ OUTQ(QGPL/PRT1) RMTSYS('P100') RMTPRTQ('P100')
    CNNTYPE(*IP) DESTTYPE(*OTHER) MFRTYPMDL(*HP4)
     In this example, output queue PRT1 is created in the library QGPL. PRT1 passes the spool requests to the printer P100. The printer, in this case, is a printer of type HP4.

  3. To start the printer, enter the command STRRMTWTR (Start Remote Writer), specifying the name of the output queue as a parameter:

STRRMTWTR OUTQ(<output_queue_name>)
