Re: Create a new Windows print server -- MIDRANGE-L

QNTC has nothing to do with print serving. QNTC is for accessing files
hosted on Windows servers. If your print servers are also acting as file
servers then you may need those entries but generally no.

There are two schools of thought with remote printing to printers hosted by
Windows print servers. Remote output queues or remote devices. Actually
someone else here handles most of that setup. Most of this on the IBM i
cares little to none about the server serving up the printers. And I have
no qntc entries to that server.
RTVCFGSRC on one of them shows
RTDEVPRT DEVD(PRTL023) DEVCLS(*LAN) TYPE(3812) MODEL(1) +
LANATTACH(*IP) PORT(9100) ATTACH(*DIRECT) ONLINE(*YES) +
FONT(11 *NONE) FORMFEED(*AUTOCUT) SEPDRAWER(*FILE) +
PRTERRMSG(*INFO) MSGQ(QGPL/PRTL023) ACTTMR(170) +
INACTTMR(*SEC15) LINESPEED(19200) WORDLEN(8) +
PARITY(*NONE) STOPBITS(1) TRANSFORM(*YES) MFRTYPMDL(*HP4) +
PPRSRC1(*LETTER) PPRSRC2(*LETTER) ENVELOPE(*NUMBER10) +
ASCII899(*NO) IMGCFG(*NONE) CHRID(*SYSVAL) +
RMTLOCNAME('PRTL023') SYSDRVPGM(*HPPJLDRV) SNMPUSR(*NONE) +
SNMPCNTX(*NONE) +
TEXT('Finance/IT office MFD') +
PUBLISHINF(*UNKNOWN *UNKNOWN *UNKNOWN *UNKNOWN *BLANK +
(*UNKNOWN))
See RMTLOCNAME? That's a dns entry (dns served by Windows) for the
printer, not the print file server. MFRTYPMDL is important to get right.
Try a RTVCFGSRC on your existing printers.

I will admit that google, and IBM, searching for this is often misleading.
Like they think you are trying to print from your Windows client to a share
hosted by IBM i

Hi Rob,
We currently have an AS400 that has a windows print server configured on
it. We have been sending reports from the AS400 to this windows print
server for many years. This was setup by someone that no longer works with
us. We would like to add an additional print server on the AS400 to send
reports to another print server. The only thing we know in order to add
another print server is to add the IP address in the /qntc directory. We
are not sure of what other steps are needed to make it work. Thank you.

What is the question?
1) We have received in multiple printers and we'd like them served from a
different Windows server. We'd like all PC's in our network to be able to
print their PC applications like Word also.
2) We have a Windows print server which multiple people connect to and
send their PC applications to print. Now we'd like to print IBM i based
stuff there also.

We have one windows server configured with an IP address
/qntc/10.10.11.44 and we can see the 4 windows share folders. It has
been many years since we setup the print server that is currently
working but we need to configure an additional print server. Would
anyone happen to know how to do this or is there any documentation or
high-level information you can provide so we can begin looking through

so that we can set up this additional server?

Thank you.
