We scrounged up a printer.  Now we have the following problem:
We have an output queue defined with
Status:
  Writer active  . . . . . . . . . . . :   Y
  Writer name(s) if active . . . . . . :   P13A19
  Output queue held  . . . . . . . . . :   N
Maximum spooled file size:
  Number of pages  . . . . . . . . . . :   *NONE
  Starting time  . . . . . . . . . . . :
  Ending time  . . . . . . . . . . . . :
Writers to autostart . . . . . . . . . :   1
Display any file . . . . . . . . . . . :   *NO
Job separators . . . . . . . . . . . . :   0
Operator controlled  . . . . . . . . . :   *YES
Order of files on queue  . . . . . . . :   *FIFO
Data queue . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   *NONE
  Library  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :
Authority to check . . . . . . . . . . :   *DTAAUT
Remote system  . . . . . . . . . . . . :   P13A19
Remote printer queue . . . . . . . . . :   INTERNAL0
Queue for writer messages  . . . . . . :   P13A19
  Library  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :     *LIBL
Connection type  . . . . . . . . . . . :   *IP
Destination type . . . . . . . . . . . :   *OTHER
Host print transform . . . . . . . . . :   *NO
User data transform  . . . . . . . . . :   TSPRWPR
  Library  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :     QGPL
Manufacturer type and model  . . . . . :   *LEXOPTRAC
Workstation customizing object . . . . :   *NONE
  Library  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :
Image configuration  . . . . . . . . . :   *NONE
Destination options  . . . . . . . . . :   XAIX
Print separator page . . . . . . . . . :   *YES
User defined option  . . . . . . . . . :   *NONE
User defined object:
  Object . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   *NONE
    Library  . . . . . . . . . . . . . :
  Object type  . . . . . . . . . . . . :
User driver program  . . . . . . . . . :   *NONE
Library  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :                    Spooled file ASP
. . . . . . . . . . . :   *SYSTEM
Text description . . . . . . . . . . . :   Pent Products - Lori Fretz

It prints host print screens fine.  When we try to print a particular file
we get
TCP371B-Transform exit program will not process file.
The spool file attributes include:
Printer device type  . . . . . . . . . :   *IPDS
The only unique DDS is:  COLOR(RED)

The transform exit program probably refers to:
User data transform  . . . . . . . . . :   TSPRWPR
  Library  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :     QGPL
in the remote output queue description.
So we tried
CHGOUTQ OUTQ(P13A19) TRANSFORM(*YES) USRDTATFM(*NONE)
and, again the print key worked but not the ipds color.  This time we not
only did we get the TCP371B, but we also got TCP371A and TCP3600 - all for
the same spool file.  This time the spool file printed, but only as
hieroglyphics.

Any hope?

I have a coworker who wants to print some simple color text printing from
our iSeries.  Nothing fancy - no graphics or anything.  A bill of
material, this line to be red, that line turquoise, etc...

We're looking at very low volume.
No twinax.  Prefer ethernet.  Marknet devices are ok, we have plenty of
these.
Programming will be RPGLE.
What do you recommend?
