STEPS: To Set Up a Network Printer

Create a remote OUTQ with the CRTOUTQ command.
The syntax of the command is:

crtoutq
outq(QUSRSYS/TPTEST)
rmtsys(*INTNETADR)
rmtprtq(‘DeskJet’)
cnntype (*IP)
desttype(*OTHER)
mfrtypmd(*HP560C)
intnetadr(‘201.210.30.30')

The output queue is created in QUSRSYS. This is to help trick the AS/400 into allowing users to specify the printer when using the basic assistance level.

The RMTSYS parameter is set to *INTNETADR, which allows us to specify the IP address of the LPD printer queue.

The RMTPRTQ parameter tells the AS/400 which LPD to use.

The DESTTYPE parameter of *OTHER tells the AS/400 to run the HPT function and translate all output to the
printer type specified by the MFRTYPMDL parameter.

The *INTNETADR parameter contains the IP address of the printer.

Start the remote writer

The command syntax is:

Strrmtwtr outq(qusrsys/tcptest)

Create a virtual 3812 printer device

The command syntax is:

crtdevprt devd(TCPTEST) devcls(*VRT) type(3812) model(1) online(*NO) font(011)

Be sure that the DEVD parameter is the same name as your remote OUTQ. When you run the command, you will be notified that the OUTQ already exists. That’s ok.
