   Thanks for the input. Yet, i have one doubt about that. The 
coleague of mine that is working with AFP, following those steps - we 
do have Print Services Facility - can't print to any printer. We 
tried to one connected using LPR/LPD (in a print server) and it didnt 
work, though this i expected. We tried then a second one, also thru 
the same print server, but connected as a true AS/400 system 
printer - Axis Print Server 570 - using APPC, and nothing, third, 
using a printer in a PC, connected using Client Access/400 W95, and 
still nothing. If i look at the device settings in this last case, 
the setting Host Print Transform is *no. Should this be changed? 


Best regards,

Pedro Manuel Rodrigues
