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).
