Submitting jobs to the same print queue When you submit jobs to the same print queue, only one actual destination communicates with the printer, and all jobs are managed by one InfoPrint Manager queue. You can use these methods to submit jobs to one InfoPrint Manager queue: v DPF Receivers when jobs are received from Host PSF print drivers v MVS Download Receivers when jobs are received from Host MVS Download drivers v Windows gateway when jobs are received from Windows shared printers v LPD when jobs are received from LPR clients on any platform v IPP when jobs are received from IPP clients on any platform v Hot Folder when jobs are received from a Windows shared folder v InfoPrint Manager Select client when jobs are received directly from the Windows client When you submit print jobs to the same queue, these apply: v There is a single point of control and auditing for all jobs printed. A single interface can be used to determine all pending jobs for the printer. v There is automated job prioritization between jobs. Several methods of prioritization are available. v There is a single point of failure. Sharing printers between host and LAN applications To get the most out of integrated host and LAN printing, you can share them among your host and LAN applications Printing from existing host applications There are several ways that you can submit jobs from host applications to InfoPrint Manager: v Host PSF sends jobs to a DPF Receiver. v MVS Download sends jobs to an MVS Download Receiver. v The LPR client sends jobs to the LPD utility on the InfoPrint Manager server. v If you use Infoprint Server on z/OS, you can submit jobs on the host for spooling to a remote InfoPrint Manager server.

When you submit a job on the host, you can specify advanced InfoPrint options, such as form definitions and page definitions. The remote print operator controls printing after InfoPrint Manager receives the job. Note: As described in "Methods for sharing printers" on page 27, the method used affects how the printer is shared.

Submitting jobs to the same print queue
When you submit jobs to the same print queue, only one actual destination
communicates with the printer, and all jobs are managed by one InfoPrint Manager
queue. You can use these methods to submit jobs to one InfoPrint Manager queue:
v
DPF Receivers when jobs are received from Host PSF print drivers
v
MVS Download Receivers when jobs are received from Host MVS Download
drivers
v
Windows gateway when jobs are received from Windows shared printers
v
LPD when jobs are received from LPR clients on any platform
v
IPP when jobs are received from IPP clients on any platform
v
Hot Folder when jobs are received from a Windows shared folder
v
InfoPrint Manager Select client when jobs are received directly from the
Windows client
When you submit print jobs to the same queue, these apply:
v
There is a single point of control and auditing for all jobs printed. A single
interface can be used to determine all pending jobs for the printer.
v
There is automated job prioritization between jobs. Several methods of
prioritization are available.
v
There is a single point of failure.
Sharing printers between host and LAN applications
To get the most out of integrated host and LAN printing, you can share them
among your host and LAN applications
Printing from existing host applications
There are several ways that you can submit jobs from host applications to InfoPrint
Manager:
v
Host PSF sends jobs to a DPF Receiver.
v
MVS Download sends jobs to an MVS Download Receiver.
v
The LPR client sends jobs to the LPD utility on the InfoPrint Manager server.
v
If you use Infoprint Server on z/OS, you can submit jobs on the host for
spooling to a remote InfoPrint Manager server. The IP PrintWay component of
Infoprint Server, which contains an LPR, and the InfoPrint Manager LPD must
be running. (If you run the InfoPrint Manager Server on a Windows system, the
InfoPrint Manager LPD replaces the Microsoft LPD for Windows.) When you
submit a job on the host, you can specify advanced InfoPrint options, such as
form definitions and page definitions. The remote print operator controls
printing after InfoPrint Manager receives the job.
Note:
As described in “Methods for sharing printers” on page 27, the method
used affects how the printer is shared.
