Hello Barry, Look at the IBM document # 8695149 found by searching for 'IP Print' in the AS/400 technical support area at http://as400service.rochester.ibm.com. It describe how to print to a network attached printer using a *LAN connection type in the printer device description. As you are already doing LPR/LPD to these boxes, you should have all the necessary IP addresses and Port numbers to make this happen. Good luck! The magic doesn't always occur at the first try!
