Re: Printing from one iSeries to Another

I suggest the following - the key thing is not to turn on host print transform.

CRTOUTQ OUTQ(QUSRSYS/DEVOUTQ)
        RMTSYS(*INTNETADR)
        RMTPRTQ('QUSRSYS/PRODOUTQ')
        CNNTYPE(*IP)
        TRANSFORM(*NO)
        INTNETADR('xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx')

DEVOUTQ is the new outq on the development partition.
PRODOUTQ is the outq on the production partition for the IPDA printer.
'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' is the IP address of the production partition. It can 
also be a name known through a DNS or the host table (Rob, don't throw 
anything at me!)

STRTCPSVR *LPD on the production partition.

Then you need only to STRRMTWTR OUTQ(QUSRSYS/DEVOUTQ) on the development 
partition and do a CHGSPLFA OUTQ(DEVOUTQ) (opt 2 in WRKSPLF). It just works.

If you really need a device, you could create one using the OUTQ you just 
created, rather than having the system create it for you. You'll get a 
message you can ignore.
