How to configure AS/400 for LPR/LPD printing using TCP/IP

Requirements

• AS/400 Version 3.1 or higher
• TCP/IP enabled in the PrintServer

To configure for printing, you must create a Remote Output Queue:

Use the CRTOUTQ command to create a Remote Output Queue. This enables the AS/400 to automatically output data translated by Host Print Transform to the PrintServer.

Create Output Queue (CRTOUTQ) 

Type choices, press Enter.

The value *IP must be used for CNNTYPE
The value *OTHER must be used for DESTTYPE
The value *YES must be used for TRANSFORM
The value used for MRFTYPMDL will depend on the attached printer. Use the
'F4' to obtain a list of the possible choices
The value used for INTNETADR must be the same as the IP address of your PrintServer.

Data to be printed must be associated with the defined OUTQ via the various PRTF commands.
