It depends on whether you use TCP or SNA, and, whether you want to print
direct to host printer or to host spooling subsystem.
TCP will be by far your easiest and cheapest option

A. TCP
i) Direct to host printer via LPR(400) / LPD(Printer or printer blackbox)
Use remote output queues just like you do for as400 ip lan printers
Printer must have a lan port or be attached to a lan printer blackbox
Printer can be shared by 400 and host (and others)

ii) Direct to host printer using as400 lan printer device description
Printer must support PJL (most HP, IBM and others)
Printer must have a lan port or be attached to a lan printer blackbox
Printer can be shared by 400 and host (and others)

iii) Direct to host printer using as400 lan printer device description (new
V5R1 option)
Requires  new printer driver support in V5R1 - uses a different ip port.
Not up on details but check IBM web site
Printer must have a lan port ( not sure if supported by lan printer
blackboxs)
Printer can be shared by 400 and host (and others)

iv) Direct to host spooling subsystem via LPR(400) / LPD (on Host system)
Use remote output queue support. Spool file sent to host spool output queue

B. SNA - My memory is stretched here so i'll generalise

i) Direct to host via SNADS - see SNDNETSPLF (essentially user to user's
otput queue)

ii) Direct to host spooling subsystem via as400 remote output queues (see
CNNTYPE and DSTTYPE)
Can't remember SNA protocol but look in as400 manuals

iii) Direct to host SNA printer using reverse "3270" passthru
can't remember details, but it had some operational limitations
Printer is then shared by host and as400

There is probably some other methods, but that should be something to think
about
