RE: Using Windows LPD software to print from an iSeries -- MIDRANGE-L

Why are you still using RMTOUTQ?

Of all the print protocols supported by the System i, LRD/LPR via remote outq should be your very last
choice.

For networked lasers, create a DEVD and specify a SYSDRVPGM() value. *IBMIPPDRV or *IBMSNMPDRV are
better choices followed by *HPPJLDRV and *IBMPJLDRV.

It's easy to replace the RMTOUTQ with a DEVD and OUTQ of the same name, that way you can keep using
the OUTQ name to send to the printer.

Subject: Using Windows LPD software to print from an iSeries

Does anyone have a recommendation for LPD Printing software
that will run on Windows and Mac and deal with iSeries spool
files sent using a remote outq? We use remote outq printing
for most of our campus network laser printers and Client
Access for directly attached Windows printers. We are moving
to an all browser world and the need for Client Access to be
installed on the client machine is going away. That and the
need to support printing to non-college owned computers (e.g.
Employee and student home computers) is pushing us towards
LPR/LPD printing. I have found software that can print a
spool file and knows SCS data stream but it does not appear
to know when to switch from portrait to landscape, everything
is either one way or the other. It does compress the font
size to make it fit but I would prefer it work like Client
Access does.
