Re: Iseries to LAN printer setup

You should definitely not use remote output queues - use *LAN print 
devices instead - much better control of everything - I can't get a 
link right now, but you could go to www.iseries.ibm.com/support, 
click on the forwarding link to the real site, then put "ascii 
printer" in the search window - you should get some knowledge base 
articles on ascii printers - and others here can help point you the 
rest of the way - I have to get to work!!!
