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

As Rob pointed out you are conflating two different things, file shares and
print servers.
Re-read his post. and Patrik is also correct. Two entirely different
topics.
You need to set up the printer server on the MS side, not the IBM i (you
don't run an AS/400 (hardware) or OS/400 (software) anymore either so
please get your terminology correct)

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
