RE: Remote Printing via tn5250 lp5250d

["Paul Nelson" <nelsonp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's a local printer, right? Set up a separate workstation session that
points to that printer. Give it the name of your desired output queue name,
and when you launch the session, it will make the writer active.

After that, when you tell a spool file to print from your outq name, your
printer should fire up.

Thank you - I'm a little confused - under what parm would I specify the 
pdt file?  I've been working with the MFRTYPMDL - perhaps that's my 
issue?  Thanks.
