Re: Virtual Printers and Controllers

Try the following create command

CRTDEVPRT DEVD(output-queue-name) DEVCLS(*VRT) TYPE(3812) MODEL(1) +
ONLINE(*NO) FONT(011)

Yours looks like it has too many things in it.

The above came from"Creating a Dummy Device Description to Use with a
Remote Output Queue (RMTOUTQ)"

We've moved our line printers off to remote outq's serviced by Lantronix print

One little issue is that things that need a device description, like
Query/400, won't
recognize the outq.  They need a device.

So, I searched the archives and found that several people do this by
creating a virtual
printer device.  I can't make it work, so I must be doing something
wrong.  Can
anyone point me the right way?

The outq exists in QUSRSYS and is called LANPRT02.  Here's the command I used
to create the virtual device:

CRTDEVPRT DEVD(LANPRT02) DEVCLS(*VRT) TYPE(3812) MODEL(1)
CTL(QVIRCD0001)
FONT(011) MSGQ(*LIBL/QSYSOPR)

This returns the following message:
Output queue LANPRT02 in QUSRSYS already exists.
Description for device LANPRT02 created.
