V6R1 supports the TOSTMF parameter on the OVRPRTF and CRTPRTF commands.
Help text says;

Specifies the directory or stream file where the output data is to
be written. All directories in the path name must exist. New
directories are not created. This parameter is only valid when the
Workstation customizing object (WSCST) parameter is not *NONE, or
the Printer device type (DEVTYPE) parameter is *AFPDS.

If the TOSTMF value refers to a directory, the system will create a
stream file in that directory with a unique name derived from the
printer file name. If the TOSTMF value is a file name, a stream
file by that name must not already exist.

I've used it and it works nicely.

I've done it. Create a Printer session/device if you will on
the desired PC, pointing to the desiree(supported) printer,
then just sent stuff to that outq on the as/400...when the PC
fires up and the printer comes online, it will print.

Subject: Can I automate thye sending of a spool file to a PC printer?

Well... the answer is "no." I sure can't.

The real question is "can a spool file be sent to a PC folder?"

Right now we open Ops Navigator and drag & drop the output that way,
but I would very much like to automate the step.
