Re: Printer configuration definitions

What I needed was a list of outqueue definitions. I could not remember if the information was already available. Just didn't want to waste time reinventing the wheel, if it was in a file.

Thanks.

Are you talking about the list of spooled files, or the attributes of
the OUTQs? The latter are part of the object - as is the case for every
object - they have their attributes within themselves - part of the
whole object-based concept the system is built on.

So that API would give you the attributes. You could then write it out
to a file yourself, or just take it and create device descriptions to match.

It's probably not in a table.

Use the Retrieve Output Queue Information (QSPROUTQ) API

When WRKOUTQ is used, is the data coming from a single file or multiple files? What file or files contain the data?

There are something like 600 printers here. Some are Xerox copy centre printers. Majority are Lexmark. Problem is that a very large number of the Lexmark printers were set up as remote output queues, and they tend to lose data if they are busy with a connection from another system. I want to convert all the remaining Lexmark printers to devices using port 9100. Just wondering if there is a way to automate the process.
