Re: Printing Issue: Would like to print from Windows

Hi Eric,

One way to get the AS/400 to print to your PC is to use LPR/LPD.
Mochasoft (www.mochasoft.dk) has a shareware LPD client for use on the
Windows platform that is very modestly priced if you find it useful.
You can then setup a remote output queue on your AS/400, specifing the
IP address of the PC and host print transform for the type of printer
your using.   Setup the the LPD client on your PC to use "RAW" print
mode to send the print straight to the printer and your set.
