Hi Patrik,
Yes, I am positive. We have the windows printserver ip address in the /qntc directory on the IBMi and if you drill down, you can see the folders that are being shared from the windows printserver on the AS400.

Hello Reggie,

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.
Are you sure that we're talking about the IBM i side of affairs?
First, /qntc is the *client* side for Windows file sharing. This is, when you want to access file shares on Windows servers (or compatible ones, such as Samba on Linux).
Second, I'm not aware that NetServer (the server part of making an IBM i machine appear to Windows as a Windows file server) has printing support. But then, I'm not a Windows guy, and my knowledge is based on a very dated version of OS/400.
:wq! PoC
