Power off the 5225, do a WRKCFGSTS and vary off the device (make unavailable),
delete the device description.

Plug in your new Printronix printer, let auto config do its thing, then do a
CHG36 and reassign your new printer to P3.

Depending on your S/36EE settings, you may have to have all of the S/36EE users
sign off and perform a END36 before you can make the change.  While you are
there, make sure you have answered "Y" to the question about changing 
environment
settings while active.
