2.12.3 Printer Administration Techniques
Administrating a printer environment can be a difficult task. You should create
a printer network diagram. Based on your diagram and printing needs, you
should develop a printing strategy. Under the right conditions, Network
Stations can print to most types of printers.

Station with an

Station A to
Printer 6
In the Network Manager program, configure
an entry in the
Remote Printer Server field
with the IP address of the Network Station to
which the printer is attached. In the Queue
name
field, type
PARALLEL1
or
SERIAL1
,
depending on how the printer connects to
the Network Station.

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
CRTDEVPRT command.
In the Network Manager program,
configuration an entry in the
Remote Printer
Server
field with the IP address or host
name of the transform server and its queue
name.
Network Station to
a server controller

Network
Station A to
AS/400 Server
to Printer 2 or 3
In the Network Manager program,
configure an entry in the
Remote Printer
Server
field with the host name or IP
address that controls the printer. In the
Queue name field, enter the name of the
queue that controls the printer.
In this scenario, it does not matter if the
datastreams do not match. If you use the
CRTDEVPRT command, the server
automatically transforms the job if
necessary.
