     You'll want to configure the V3R2 machine to start LPD server. Once 
     that is running, you can configure an OUTQ to target the remote 
     printers. The spoolfiles will be sent to the destination outq via 
     the LPR client.
     
     Go to: 
     http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/search?book=QBKANL03
     
     to search for LPD in the V3R2 TCP/IP Configuration and Reference.

My goal is to get an AS/400 , model 9406 sitting in city A to print to 400 print
s sitting in city B.  Today, the printers have twinax interfaces.  The 400 does 
ve an Ethernet card and an IP stack loaded ( V3R2 code).  The two offices in 
whichthe 400 and these printers sit will need to have LAN-LAN links set up 
 anyways for normal client to server communications.  My Goal here is to allow 
the 400 to tal to these printers across the WAN without the need to do something
like TDM-ing s e bandwidth off the circuit to run a dedicated 400 to controller 
link (not that have a controller - the current 400 support the printers thru a 
built in WSC).  w can I connect a twinax printer to my LAN in such a way that I 
can get the 400 tosee it thru its Ethernet interface?

What problem are you trying to solve?  What are your goals?
     
To be able to print to these printers from PC's and your mainframe? 
IF this is your goal, (IF).  Then there are a couple different ways 
around this.  Study 'NetServer'.  This will allow PC's (of the Wintel 
variety at least) to select these printers just as if they were any 
other Windows printer.
There should be some way, if you're already connecting your mainframe
and their 400, to configure remote printers to share between the mainframe 
and the 400.
     
If the goal is to trash the 400 but keep the printers (I'll avoid the 
argument as to why you need a drug test) then there are a couple of
things you can do there.  See if the IBM 5494 control unit, (or compatible 
marketed by Perle) will configure to the mainframe.  Or, there are many 
protocol converters out there that can convert printers from twinax to 
3270 or lan (more versatile).
