Yes, you can change this file.  Unless you change a parameter which violates the capabilities of one of your printers, you should be OK.

This is a part of a broader problem.  Most AS/400 shops choose to routinely make changes to IBM supplied objects.  These changes might include:
Changing command defaults (CHGCMDDFT)
Changing file descriptions (CHGPRTF QPSPLPRT , for example)
Changing the security on certain objects (to support some packages' needs)

The problem becomes one of "remembering" what was changed at the next release update.  We don't like creating duplicate objects in the library list because the underlying object may change in the next release & you may not remember your changes.

What we do is to create a CL program which does all of these changes.  We then re-run the program after each release update in order to re-install the changes.  This provides both a consistent procedure and a permanent means of documentation!

Hope this helps!
