If Your Printer Is Attached to a PC
An emulation program must be run on the PC to allow the IBM i system (or IBM iSeries system) to print to it. This emulation program can be IBM iSeries Access or some other emulation program that can create a printer session and configure a device on the IBM i system. The type of emulation program used might have its own special requirements, so refer to the documentation for the program. Refer to Rochester Support knowledgebase document # 6163631 for additional information on connection and configuration methods not mentioned here.
For information on printing on a PC running Client Access/400, refer to the following documents:
N1018716: IBM i Access for Windows: Configuring a PC5250 Printer Session
N1019636: Capabilities and Limitations of Printing when Using iSeries Access for Windows

Subject: Access Client Solutions ( ACS ) printer session
I suspect I am making this harder than it needs to be. I have a Canon
MG5720 printer attached to my Windows 7 PC. ACS is installed.
I want to be able to print a regular printout from the iSeries. I can view and print files with ACS's printer output option but that does not preserve row/column & cpi settings.
I set up an ACS printer session and all looks correct but the Canon printer shows no sign of life when a print job is sent to it.
