Remote print queue OS/400

Issue:
Example configuration of a Remote Output Queue on the AS/400 for LPR printing.

Solution:

The following is an example of a Remote Output Queue (RMTOUTQ) to a LAN attached printer [printer is attached to terminal or print server].

More detail information about LPR printing for AS/400 , please visit the AS400 Web site http://as400service.rochester.ibm.com/, choose "Search Software Knowledge Base" and then search for Doc No. 8983237

The ">" indicates important parameters to set.
The "[ ]" indicates parameter obtained from the terminal/print server.

The Remote Output Queue (RMTOUTQ) can be configured using the Create Output Queue (CRTOUTQ ) command.

Type "CRTOUTQ" on an OS/400 command line, press the F4 (Prompt) Key, fill in the following parameters and then press the Enter Key to create the RMTOUTQ:

Output queue . . . . . . . . . . > (enter name of queue to create)

Note: Older versions of OS/400 may refer to the Host print transform (TRANSFORM) parameter as "Transform SCS to ASCII".

Note on the "Remote Printer Queue" name (refer to your User Guide for more details):

Jetstream = ascii_p[port number] or raw_p[port number]
the parallel port is refered to as ascii_9 or raw_9

IOLAN+ = "Name" parameter on the Port configuration.

IOPRINT+ = L1, L2,or L3
