RE: TCP/IP printing to PC printers

["David Knittle" <knittle@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you mean you want to print as/400 data to a pc printer, you can do it 
very easily, assuming:

You have TCP/IP configured on your AS/400,
Your Printer has a IP address.

Everything is controlled from the CRTOUTQ command.

Use     RMTSYS(*INTNETADR)
        Connection type=*IP
        Internet address=Printer address
        Destination type=*OTHER
        Host print transform=*YES
        Manufacturer type and model=whatever (ours is *HP4)
        We also set autostart writers to 1, so the system starts the writer 
automatically

I didn't do anything special to configure this. I saw it done in a 
magazine, tried it, and it worked. We don't use pc support to run our hp 
printers as /400 printers at all anymore.

Make sure you use STRRMTWTR to start the writer, if you don't autostart it.

Subject:        TCP/IP printing to PC printers

 << File: ATT00000.html >> Hello All:

We're running V3R7 with networked PCs via TCP/IP and Windows95 as 
workstations.  We want to be able to print to our PC printers from the 
AS/400.  We use CA for Windows95 and we're not running AnyNet.  Can you 
give me some recommendations on how this might be accomplished or point me 
in the right direction so I can do some more research into the problem? 
 What are some of the pitfalls in doing this?

Thanks in advance,
