In the Network Station Manager program,
configure an entry in the
Remote Printer
Server
field for the LAN printer.
Network Station to
a LAN printer with

On the server that will transform the print job,
create a print device description and queue.
The printer device description must contain
the IP address or host name of the LAN
printer. For more information on configuring
a printer device, review the Create Printer
Device (CRTDEVPRT) command.
In the Network Manager program, configure
an entry in the Remote Printer Server field
with the IP address or host name of the
transform server and its queue name.

In the Network Station Manager program,
configure an entry in the Local Parallel
Printer or the Local Serial Printer field,
depending on how the printer connects to
the Network Station.
Network Station to
a locally attached
printer with a
different
datastream
Network
Station B to

to Printer 5
On the server that will transform the print
job, create a printer device description and
queue. The printer device description must
contain the IP address or host name of the
Network Station to which the printer is
attached. For more information on
configuring a printer device, review the
