Chapter 20. AS/400-to-NetWare Printing When you have Enhanced Integration for NetWare installed, you can print from AS/400 to a NetWare printer, using the standard NetWare print support and an AS/400 remote output queue and remote writer. NetWare uses a print queue, a print server, and a printer to allow workstations to print to a network printer. The print queue is the object that temporarily holds the print job file until the job is printed. The print server provides the service of sending the print job to the printer. The print server monitors the print queue and the printer. To set up NetWare print support, see "NetWare Printing". You cannot print from a NetWare server to an AS/400 printer. However, there are other facilities to provide this support, such as HostPrint/400. Figure 20-1 illustrates AS/400-to-NetWare remote system printing when Enhanced Integration for NetWare is installed. The NetWare server must have NetWare 3.12 or 4.1 installed. Figure 20-1. AS/400-to-NetWare Printing Environment
In this environment, an AS/400 user (1) requests print services from the NetWare server. Note that the NetWare server can either be on the Integrated PC Server or a PC. The print job file is sent to the AS/400 remote output queue (2). The Remote Writer for that output queue then sends data to the NetWare print queue (3). The NetWare server acts as the print server and monitors the print queue as well as the printer. When the printer can process the job, the server sends the print job to the assigned printer (4). Note:
If users don't have an authentication entry, they must specify AUTJOB(*ANY) on the STRNTWCNN command when they start a connection to NetWare. The writer job uses that connection to print the file on NetWare. To print from an AS/400 system to a NetWare printer:

The NetWare server receives the spooled files in a print queue. Refer to the NetWare documentation for information on how to print jobs from NetWare print queues. [ Top of Page | Previous Page | Next Page | Table of Contents | Index ] |
