Figure 10. Possible Network Station Printing Scenarios
For server-based applications, such as a 5250 application, you must
configure a printer on the server where the application is running. In this
case, think of the Network Station as only a window to the server, in that
server still performs the work. In Figure 10, if Network Station A runs a 5250
session on the AS/400 server and you want to print to Printer 4, you must
create a printer device description on the AS/400 server. The AS/400 server
sends the print job to Printer 4. To create a printing device description on your
AS/400 system, use the Create Printer Device (CRTDEVPRT) command.
