Creating a print share

 

You can share any i5/OS® output queue with PC clients in the network by creating an iSeries™ NetServer™ print share.

To create a new iSeries NetServer print share by using iSeries Navigator, follow these steps:

  1. Open iSeries Navigator and connect to the system you want to work with.

  2. Expand Network > Servers.

  3. Click TCP/IP to retrieve a list of the TCP/IP servers available.

  4. Right-click iSeries NetServer and select Open.

  5. Right-click Shared Objects and select New and then select Printer.

  6. In the General - Properties dialog box, configure the new print share with a name, description, output queue, library, printer driver, spooled file type, and printer file.

The iSeries Navigator online help provides detailed information about the iSeries NetServer print share dialog box.
