Re: TCP/IP - LAN printing

Hello Barry,

Look at the IBM document # 8695149 found by searching for 'IP Print' in the
AS/400 technical support area at http://as400service.rochester.ibm.com.  It
describe how to print to a network attached printer using a *LAN connection type
in the printer device description.  As you are already doing LPR/LPD to these
boxes, you should have all the necessary IP addresses and Port numbers to make
this happen.  Good luck!  The magic doesn't always occur at the first try!
