NOTE: If the printer and AS/400 are not on the same local LAN segment, use CFGTCP Option 2 to verify that there is a route defined in the TCP/IP route list. Configuring a TCP/IP Host Table Entry Although it is optional to create a TCP/IP host table entry, IBM suggests that you take this step. Add the AS/400 name and the IP address of the LAN adapter to the "Host Table Entries." Configuring the AS/400 for Printing The procedure for configuring an AS/400 for printing requires that you: 1. Setup the printing capability 2. Verify the setup with a print job In order to accomplish this configuration, you need the following information: Remote Printer Queue name Set for any of d1prn through d4prn.

AS/400 Configuration
NOTE:
If the printer and AS/400 are not on the same local LAN segment,
use CFGTCP Option 2 to verify that there is a route defined in the
TCP/IP route list.
Configuring a TCP/IP Host Table Entry
Although it is optional to create a TCP/IP host table entry, IBM suggests that you
take this step. Add the AS/400 name and the IP address of the LAN adapter to
the “Host Table Entries.”
Configuring the AS/400 for Printing
The procedure for configuring an AS/400 for printing requires that you:
1.
Setup the printing capability
2.
Verify the setup with a print job
In order to accomplish this configuration, you need the following information:
Remote Printer Queue name
Set for any of d1prn through d4prn.
NOTE:
The Remote Printer Queue name must be all lower case. Do not
use PASS.
IP address
IP address for the NIC.
Setting up Printing for ASCII Files
The next stop in configuring the the AS/400 for IBM network printers is to setup
the remote printing capability. There are two ways to do this. You can specify the
LPR parameters manually each time you send a file to the printer, or use Remote
Writer and a remote output queue for automatic printing to the printer.
To use LPR manually:
1.
Start TCP/IP, if it is not already running, by entering the command:
STRTCP
2.
At the AS/400 command line, enter
LPR
3.
The following example displays only the parameters you need to specify.
