The other good resource is the "Printing" Redbook...
However the last is from 2002
IBM eServer iSeries Printing VI: Delivering the Output of e-business
https://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246250.html

There's a slightly newer Redpaper from 2005
IBM eServer iSeries Printing VII: Infoprint Server Implementation
https://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpapers/pdfs/redp3752.pdf

But I don't think IBM i printing abilities have changed much since then...

I've not ever tried to print color from an IBM i or it's predecessors.

A quick glance through the above suggests to me that your best bet might be
to convert to PDF and send that to a printer that has native PDF printing
functionality; which your Kyocera MA 3005 has apparently.

HTH,
Charles
