Not sure I understand. Sounds like you're talking about a print session using a PC printer as an emulated system printer.
I need to use the system printer as the target from a Windows or Linux box.
Seems like it should be a piece of cake via Ethernet. I've turned the project over to one of our admin guys.
It was possible way back in the PC Support/38 days. Print to LPT2, for example, and it went to QSYSPRT. Of course, that was just plain text.

Have you tried the print drivers included with IBMi Access for Windows?

Subject: 6400 Printer - Share with Windows/Linux
I'm trying to see if we can print to our 6400 from Windows or Linux. I see a number of products that go the other way around - intercepting IPDS from the IBM i and printing to non-IPDS printers.
Does anyone know of an IPDS driver for Windows or Linux (RHEL)? We are looking to print barcoded invoices.
Tried adding the 6400 in Win 7 Enterprise but Windows could not see the printer (although I can ping it). It may be an older 6400 attached by a twin-ax brick - I'm waiting on an answer to that.
Thanks.
