Just to close this thread out, Rob's link got me to a working solution by suggesting the "Use Java Print Service" option.  The print is now flowing smoothly. Thanks Rob!

Rich,
I think there's some confusion here. No blame for anyone. It's just that so few of us use ACS printer sessions anymore. Instead we hook the printers up directly to the lan and configure either remote writers or remote output queues. I suspect that was what the previous reply was thinking.

Have you been able to get any printer to configure as an iACS printer session? Or is it just this model? Or is this the first one you've tried as an iACS printer session?

The general steps are at

If all else fails there are a couple of other options.

I would ensure that you have the following on your system (it's free):
Resource
ID Option Feature Description
5770TS1 *BASE 5050 IBM Transform Services for i
5770TS1 *BASE 2924 IBM Transform Services for i

Then you have a couple of options:

One: Have the program print to pdf
CHGVAR &QP1ARCY ('/tmp/' *tcat &SysName *tcat '_QP1ARCY.PDF')
OVRPRTF FILE(QP1ARCY) DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) TOSTMF(&QP1ARCY) WSCST(*PDF)
Download the pdf and print that.

Two: Use iACS Printer Output option to find the spool file and download it as a pdf and then print that.
