Re: Printing from one iSeries to Another

Just to add to what Vern said.  With you LPAR system I would guess that you
are using the internal LAN for all your telnet and FTP traffic.  Since the
internal LAN does not support SNA you would not be able to use the IBM doc
to setup the remote printing.
You will need to use the TCP/IP outq like he outlined.
