RE: Remote IP Printer

[daparnin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

After creating the IP output queue you can also create a "dummy device"
such as:

CRTDEVPRT DEVD(BREPRD) DEVCLS(*RMT) TYPE(*IPDS) MODEL(0) LOCADR(FD)
FONT(011 10.0) FORMFEED(*CONT) MSGQ(*LIBL/QSYSOPR)

When printer devices are created it attempts to create an OUTQ to go with
it that matches the printer name.  Because one already exists with that
name it uses it instead of creating a new one.  After that you can use
either the device or the output queue and it will print just fine.  It will
still show up with a status of *END if you do a WRKWTR but will appear as
started if you do a WRKWTR *ALL.

That is because it not a "real" printer.  It is an outq description that
uses (essentially) LPR to send output to the LAN printer.
The users need to use the outq() parm on the chgsplfa command.

If you want a "real" printer description you would need to creat a LAN
printer.

Make sure you printer meets the hardware requirements.
