I believe a remote output queue can use LPR/LPD to send to a Windows defined printer.

Then your print accounting software might pick up the reports.

subject: iSeries printing through a windows print server

We currently setup network attached printers for direct IP printing and then configure an OUTQ pointing to the IP address of the printer. That all works fine. We also run a windows print server that routes all PC print requests to the appropriate printer and it also runs software to track all printing. All of our iSeries printing bypasses that logging so we don?t have an easy way to know the volume of printing actually going to every printer.

Is it possible to direct our iSeries printing to the windows print server which would then pass it on to the appropriate printer?

If this was possible it seems like the IP address of the OUTQ would have to be the windows server but then the OUTQ definition would also need to be able to point to the appropriate windows printer queue to get to the correct printer.
