RE: PC Print Files to AS400 Printer -- MIDRANGE-L

I do not see Network when I start my operations navigator.  To I need to be
at a certain level.  I am currently on C/A V3R1M2.  

I was able to "add a new printer"  from the control panel in windows and
actually send data to our system printer.  But every time I send a PC
document, the alignment get messed up.  Is there a setting that I can change
so that it prints as a standard size so the operators won't have to keep
realigning the paper?  I looked at the spooled file QPNPSPRTF and it has the
same lines per page, CPI, and LPI as our QSYSPRT but still I get alignment
messages and have to realign the paper.

Thank you,

Yes.  And PC's not using Client Access can use it, etc.  To configure it you
go into Operations Navigator, select Network, select Servers, select TCP/IP,
and you'll see NetServer.  Right clicking on this will get you into some
setup, (properties).  A regular double click will get you into Shared
Objects.  This is where you define new shares - both printer and file.
Check out the book 'OS/400 - AS/400 Integration with Windows NT Server:
SC41-5439' available online at:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/online/3eng44.htm

I have never used NetServer.   Will it make our AS400 printer look like a
network printer?

I would strongly recommend upgrading from V4R2 to V4R3 or 
V4R4 and looking at NetServer.  NetServer will work with 
V4R2, barely.  Much improved with V4R3.  Do you know what 
NetServer is?

We do have an NT server and our networked printers are set up on WINFRAME if
that helps any.  We are on V4R2M0.

If the PC has Client Access loaded this is quite simple.

Or, if the PC is running NT this is simple too.  Just use NetServer 
on the 400 to set up a share for the printer.  You left out which 
version of OS/400 you are using - this IS important.

I would like to know if there is a way to have PC print output directed to
and AS400 printer.

We have a Classified advertising system and the vendor said that they could
program output to go to any printer on the network.  Our AS400 is connected
to the network.  The only thing is that they said it has to be a Postscript
or ASCII printer.  We have an IBM 6408, IBM 4234, and a Genicom 4410
printer. Can I do this? 

Thank you,
