Re: Sending Spool files using TCP/IP to a network printer

[Carl Galgano <cgalgano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The answer to your question is yes.  At V3R1/V3R6 or higher you can create
an out queue defined to an IP address.  The remote writer automatically
starts.  See the example below.

                      Work with Output Queue Description
